What Is the Ford Dynamic Hitch Assist?

Attaching a trailer, RV, or another vehicle to tow can be a complex task. After all, you have to precisely line up an enlarged and heavy object to your truck or SUV. This is where the Ford Dynamic Hitch Assist comes in handy to make this aspect of towing setup easier. Learn how this technology works at Ford Lincoln of Cookeville.

The Ford Dynamic Hitch Assist at a Glance

The Ford Dynamic Hitch Assist acts as a rearview camera when you’re getting your F-150 pickup truck to line up against the item to be towed. Drivers who tow trailers and other items frequently can attest that getting their truck aligned with the towed object is no easy feat. Often, it takes a live guide and multiple attempts. With the Ford Dynamic Hitch Assist acting as your visual guide, this eliminates the need for a live spotter or having to step out of your truck repeatedly to check for alignment.

How It Works

When you activate the hitch assist function, visual lines will appear on the digital display screen. This shows you when your truck is aligned with the object without having to step out of the cabin. A zoom function is also available for more precise viewing. Activate the zoom feature by tapping on a magnifying glass icon.

Pro Trailer Backup™ Assist

The Ford Dynamic Hitch Assist shouldn’t be confused with the Pro Trailer Backup Assist. The latter assists in the rear parking of your truck when there’s a trailer attached. With a turn of a knob shifter, the system guides the steering wheel to provide accurate rear parking.
