Default F150 “wiggle”

An observation.
In my F150, I finally set up my trailer backup assist (sticker on the tongue). Primary reason was for the blind spot monitoring. I have noticed that the “F150 wiggle” no longer exists. Who knew?! 😂😉

The back up assist doesn't have anything to do with the blind spot monitoring. My blindspot monitoring works fine without having setup the pro backup assist.

When I tow a trailer the rear of the truck just felt unstable. A “wiggle”. Nothing too serious but it was there.

Some say. I had a blind spot off light on my dash when I connected a trailer. All dimensions were set up. It wouldn’t work until I completed the trailer pro assist. Some say I was doing it wrong. Best part is it works now with a sticker and a few simple dimensions.

If you have "P" tires try filling them to the max pressure marked on the sidewall that might help remove some of the seat of the pants feeling your getting

It makes sense if you wiggle it, just a little bit.
