Quick question about Fords pro back up assist.

[Joel/ak]

Is it really necessary. From what I read and videos basically instead of using the steering wheel you use a dial. Im old school, and like that round thingy you use to steer.

What else is so great about it? Am I missing something?

Thanks

Go to a busy boat launch, and comedy will ensue from those who just don't know how to back up a trailer.

Yeah I think it's for the cul-de-sac crew with their first pickup and boat.
"Pro".... I'm not sure if it's a joke or insulting. It's akin to "pro" training wheels on your first bicycle.

That's crazy shidt at some of those boat launches. I can see some street truck drivers looking out a window to see for clearance and inadvertently crank that dial all the way and jacknifes the trailer.
