Ford F-450 Towing Technologies

Along with the towing and hauling driving mode the transmission offers you, the F-450 also comes backed with a suite of progressive towing tech. Together, these work to make everything from hitching up your trailer to reversing while towing a breeze.

  • Pro Trailer Backup Assist: The control is in your hands. Better control is a simple knob turn away with this handy system that makes initial setup easier than ever.
  • Trailer Reverse Guidance: Using visual guides on your central display and cameras located in your exterior mirrors, you can easily control the direction of your truck and your trailer.
  • Blind Spot Information System with Trailer Coverage: This system lets you change lanes more securely while trailering. It’ll alert you not only when someone is in your blind spot, but when they’re alongside your trailer as well.
  • Cameras: With 180/360-degree cameras monitoring your Ford F-450, you can see every angle around you. But that’s not all. With a center high-mounted stop-light camera, you can see your bed perfectly for hitching up. And, cameras are even available for your trailer, too!
