Pro Trailer Hitch Assist on the F-150 Available A Rogers Ford

Are you tired of the stress and frustration that comes with hitching a trailer to your Ford truck? Say goodbye to those struggles with Ford’s all-new Pro Trailer Hitch Assist, an industry-first technology designed to make hitching your trailer as simple as pushing a button.

Artificial Intelligence to Simplify Hitching

Available exclusively for Ford F-Series trucks, the Pro Trailer Hitch Assist uses sophisticated artificial intelligence, including computer vision and machine learning, to automatically back up and align your truck’s hitch ball with the trailer coupler. Ford’s in-house team secured 60 patents while developing this cutting-edge technology that controls the truck’s speed, steering, and braking to ensure perfect alignment.

How Pro Trailer Hitch Assist Works

Using the rear camera and corner radars, Pro Trailer Hitch Assist aligns the hitch with the trailer coupler while simultaneously controlling the truck’s speed, steering, and braking to stop at the right place. This innovative feature is now available for the F-150, F-150 Lightning, and the all-new F-Series Super Duty.

Operating Pro Trailer Hitch Assist is simple. The customer just needs to push and hold a button while monitoring progress on the truck’s large center screen display. The advanced machine learning technology detects the hitch ball, trailer, and coupler at distances of up to approximately 20 feet.

Time-Saving and Confidence-Boosting Technology

This new hitch assist technology not only saves time but also boosts your confidence when hitching a trailer. Even towing experts can benefit from reduced time lost to maneuvering mistakes.

Additionally, future trailer image data can be used to improve the system over time through Ford Power-Up software updates.

Ford’s Trailer Towing Technology Leadership

Pro Trailer Hitch Assist joins a suite of driver-assist technologies already available for the F-Series, such as Pro Trailer Backup Assist, Onboard Scales, and Smart Hitch. These features work together to provide customers with an easier, safer, and more efficient towing experience.
