Default Trailer Backup Assist

Played around with the backup trailer assist today at the SF Auto Show. I'm decent at backing up a trailer but this new feature makes it so easy a caveman can do it. Very smooth and easy to use. Also test drove a Limited. Very nice interior but not for me. It was my first time driving a 3.5 Ecoboost and I was surprised how torquey that motor is. Still glad I ordered a 5.0 though.

looks like a neat feature. Be even better with the 2017 super duty rear trailer camera. Why are you glad you got a 5.0 over the 3.5?

I just felt like you really needed to give it gas to get the turbos to spool up. Not knocking the Ecoboost engines.

It's all good. It's your money, buy what you like. If I didn't tow I would have considered the V8.
