  • Trailer Reverse Guidance – one of 14 class-exclusive features on the all-new #ford F-Series #superduty – helps drivers see more angles, monitors the area around the truck and provides coaching while backing up a trailer
  • Three high-resolution cameras are used in Trailer Reverse Guidance, and a color-coded bird’s-eye diagram of the truck helps warn the driver of jackknife conditions
  • Four additional cameras include one to see behind the trailer, another to see inside the cargo box, one to see directly ahead of the truck and a camera for Lane-Departure Warning


DEARBORN, Mich., March 16, 2016 – #ford, America’s truck leader, is giving heavy-duty truck customers more smart technology and better views to make backing up a trailer easier than ever.

All-new F-Series #superduty offers innovative Trailer Reverse Guidance – an available technology that uses cameras to see more angles, monitor conditions surrounding the truck and provide real-time coaching guidance while maneuvering a trailer. Two patents on the first-of-its-kind trailering and camera system are pending.

Super Duty is the first #ford vehicle to offer up to seven cameras, three of which are used in Trailer Reverse Guidance. These cameras function as more than just digital rearview mirrors:

  • Tailgate camera tracks the motion of a conventional trailer to help coach drivers as they back up
  • Two side-view cameras shift the view of the trailer as its angle changes
  • First-ever factory-available customer-placed camera can be attached to the back of a trailer to improve visibility while backing up
  • Center high-mounted stop lamp camera provides visibility into the cargo box with a Ford-first dynamic guideline, especially useful for easier hook-up of gooseneck and fifth-wheel trailers

Trailer Reverse Guidance – one of 14 class-exclusive features on #superduty – presents a color-coded bird’s-eye representation of truck and trailer on the console touch screen. Yellow or red means the trailer angle is too tight and there is a risk of jackknifing.

Two patents are pending on Trailer Reverse Guidance, including a dynamic steering wheel icon that indicates to drivers which direction to turn to back up a trailer in a straight line and a dual-purpose camera package.
