How the 2026 Ford Super Duty F-350 Towing Tech Makes Hookups around Grand Blanc, MI Easier

Lasco Ford - How the 2026 Ford Super Duty F-350 Towing Tech Makes Hookups around Grand Blanc, MI Easier

If you’ve ever spent more time lining up a trailer than actually hauling it, the 2026 Super Duty® F-350® has the fix. Ford’s integrated trailering technologies reframe tricky maneuvers into repeatable, confidence-boosting steps that you can execute quickly, whether you’re working a job or pulling toys for the weekend. This is where the right cameras, sensors, and software truly matter—especially on tight job sites, busy boat launches, or in sloped driveways that complicate sight lines. The system’s smarts complement what the F-350® already does so well: put down torque, stabilize heavy loads, and keep power flowing wherever you park with available 2kW Pro Power Onboard™.

Three features stand out for daily trailering: available Pro Trailer Backup Assist™, available Pro Trailer Hitch Assist™, and available Onboard Scales with Smart Hitch. Together, they help you get precise hitch alignment, optimize tongue weight, and steer your truck-trailer combination just by turning a knob—all while the cameras expand your situational awareness on the available 12-inch SYNC® 4 display. Add in the available 360-Degree Camera, and the stress of blind corners, jackknifing, or awkward corrections fades into quick, controlled movements that feel natural after a few tries.

• Pro Trailer Backup Assist™: Turn the cabin knob in the direction you want the trailer to go, and the system helps manage steering—ideal for tight alleys, storage yards, or boat ramps.
• Pro Trailer Hitch Assist™: The truck can help control steering, throttle, and braking to guide the hitch to the coupler with on-screen prompts and camera views.
• Onboard Scales with Smart Hitch: View estimated payload and trailer tongue weight in the cluster or center screen, helping you balance loads for stability.
• 360-Degree Camera: Multiple views make it easier to spot obstacles, confirm clearances, and avoid overcorrections in confined spaces.

How does this tech change a workday? Imagine backing a loaded equipment trailer between two dumpsters behind a warehouse—your sightlines are terrible, and the ground isn’t level. With Pro Trailer Backup Assist™, you dial in tight corrections while watching display overlays that keep the trailer on your intended path. When it’s time to re-hitch, Pro Trailer Hitch Assist™ brings the receiver to the coupler, even if wind or uneven concrete shifted your positioning. Before you go, Onboard Scales with Smart Hitch gives you a read on tongue weight so you can shift cargo forward or aft to reduce sway at highway speeds. It’s deliberate, efficient, and safer for your gear and crew.

For frequent haulers, pairing this technology with the 6.7L High Output Power Stroke® V8 Turbo Diesel compounds the benefits. Best-in-class diesel horsepower and up to 1,200 lb-ft of torque help keep momentum steady on grades, while the TorqShift® 10-speed automatic makes orderly shifts to limit hunting. If your routes include unpaved lots or steep ramps, consider the Tremor® Off-Road Package for extra ground clearance and traction that can keep the rear wheels hooked when you’re pulling a heavy tongue weight up a slick surface. And when you arrive, the available 2kW Pro Power Onboard™ lets you plug in tools, a compressor, or lighting—no generator required.

When you’re ready to set up your truck and trailer profile, you can store key parameters in the system via the SYNC® 4 screen. That way, camera guidelines and assist features adapt to each specific trailer in your lineup. Over time, your muscle memory pairs with software that’s tailored to your equipment, and the result is a smoother, faster routine from yard to jobsite and back again. If you’re wondering how it feels the first time, most drivers report that the learning curve is brief—after a couple of guided maneuvers, the controls become second nature.

Lasco Ford offers walk-throughs that show how to calibrate these systems, how to interpret the weight readouts from Onboard Scales, and which cameras to enable for complex maneuvers. Our team is serving Grand Blanc, Brighton, and Hartland with demonstrations designed to answer the follow-up questions that surface after your first few trailer hookups—like how to set profiles for different tongue heights, or when to add a weight-distributing hitch based on Smart Hitch readings.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Do I need special trailer hardware to use these features?

Most features work with common trailer types. Calibration steps help the truck learn your trailer’s dimensions, and we can review any hardware recommendations for your specific setup.

Can Pro Trailer Backup Assist™ work on sloped driveways?

Yes, the system can assist on uneven surfaces. Maintain slow, steady movement and use the camera views to confirm clearances while the truck helps manage steering input.

What if I tow multiple trailers?

You can create and store profiles within SYNC® 4 for different trailers to streamline hookups, backup assists, and guideline overlays every time you switch.

Will these systems help at night?

Available lighting and camera views improve visibility in low light. We recommend practicing in a known, well-lit area to build confidence with the controls.
