Towing a trailer can be a stressful experience, especially if you're not used to it. Lining up your vehicle with the trailer hitch requires precision and a steady hand. Fortunately, Ford has introduced a feature called Dynamic Hitch Assist that makes this process much simpler. At Hillsboro Ford in Hillsboro, KS, we're excited to offer this innovative technology on select new Ford models.
What is Ford Dynamic Hitch Assist?
Ford Dynamic Hitch Assist is a feature that uses cameras and sensors to help you line up your vehicle with a trailer hitch. When you shift into reverse, the rear camera view will appear on the touchscreen display, along with a dynamic guideline that shows the projected path of the hitch ball. As you steer the vehicle, the guideline moves to show you where the hitch ball will end up. This takes the guesswork out of lining up with the trailer.
In addition to the visual guide, Dynamic Hitch Assist also provides steering suggestions to help you fine-tune the alignment. Arrows on the screen indicate which direction you should turn the steering wheel to perfectly center the hitch ball under the trailer coupler. This feature is especially helpful for Wichita, KS drivers who are new to towing or who don't do it very often.
Benefits of Dynamic Hitch Assist
The primary benefit of Dynamic Hitch Assist is that it makes hitching up a trailer in Hillsboro much easier and less stressful. You don't have to rely on a spotter or get in and out of the vehicle multiple times to check your alignment. The cameras and guides do the work for you, so you can hitch up with confidence even if you're by yourself.
Another advantage of this feature is that it can help prevent damage to your vehicle or trailer. If you're not lined up correctly, you could accidentally hit the trailer with your bumper or put strain on the hitch components. Dynamic Hitch Assist helps you get it right the first time, reducing the risk of costly mishaps.
