That's pretty much the way back-up assist works. The steering wheel just whips around all by itself under direction from the computer.

Don't think that I'd be comfortable with any situation that...

Thanks. I think that what's going to take the most getting used to is pointing the trailer straight back and letting it do it's thing without touching the wheel. :)

Depends on if it had a similar "A" frame at the front and the tongue jack in a similar position. On the Escape the jack can't be moved aft because of the propane tanks where on a boat trailer that...

The tongue jack appears to be the most likely culprit. Because of the required...

Well, as they say, the proof is in the pudding.

I've managed to put the 1,000 break in miles on the truck so I was anxious to try towing the trailer.

I like WDF hitches and knew that I could...

OK, just finishing my third mod. Adding a hard box cover and removing the consol lid for Gertie's berth were the first two.

So what's a new truck for if not to tear apart new things?:) I have a...

My first impression of the Ford GPS is that it's pretty good. Like being able to swipe sideways etc. to see what's just out of view on the current screen.

Nothing sweet about Gertie. Not a day goes by that she doesn't bite me. That after hours on my lap and treats raining down on her. :rolleyes: Good thing that she's toothless.:)

Wow, it does :) It sort of has a detent at about 45* and I hadn't realized that it did open that wide. Could be handy.

It's a 2018.
