Sure seems like a total gimmick to me! It looks like you still need to figure out where you want the trailer to go and how to guide it there yourself. However, instead of using the fine control of the steering wheel to guide your trailer, you're going to move your hand down to a coarse control rotary knob where very little movement equals a wildly spinning steering wheel? Exactly how does this thing help? No thank you Ford.
I agree. The feature is useless! You still have to be able to place the truck/trailer in the correct position and angle to be able to back into where you want. Proper placement is the key to backing. Doesn't matter if you use a useless knob to back up or the steering wheel. It's not going to make it any easier to get in a tight spot.
