So what exactly is this Backup Assist feature? Well, the 2016 Ford F-150 has an available feature that makes the difficulty of backing up a thing of the past. In fact, backing up is now as easy as turning as knob — because that’s exactly how the new system is controlled!
All you have to do is rotate the knob to either the light or the right, and that’s the direction the trailer will go. There’s no need to hold onto the steering wheel: your fancy new truck will move it for you, according to how you’re moving the backup knob.
