Lol! It looks absurd (in a good way)! You'd never think of a mid-sized truck pulling this size trailer! :LOL:
Love it! Must be hell on range, tho'!

Well, they state that pulling the max 11k #'s drops it to about 50%. I assumed that didn't include wind drag, so, maybe?

That may be optimistic given the likely drag of such a large trailer The OOS drag simulation test of the R1T towing a small utility trailer with a 4x8 sheet of plywood mounted vertically returned 0.77 kWh/mi.

I have this camera. I use it when in tight camp grounds, when I’m with the camper by myself, or when the weather is terrible. Does the job, I would buy it again.

Ford’s backup assist isn’t just a camera. It actually does the steering conversion based on how trailers “flip” the direction. A natural action for people who tow all the time, but a HUGE help for those who tow occasionally and have to really think about how to backup with a trailer.

I’ll save you some $$$$. Put your hand on the bottom of the steering wheel. Whichever way your hand goes is the direction that the back of the trailer will go.

I know how to backup a trailer.

If you don't see value in the feature, then don't use it.

Reversing the controls seems even more confusing to me.

My anxiety would be through the roof towing a trailer that size.

You really have to pick and chose where you go with larger ones. Many camp grounds up here in AK don’t allow campers >25’ tongue to bumper. My 22BHS is just under 26’ and I make it. I don’t have any issues anywhere I go but we don’t really have city driving anywhere up here. Going larger then what I have really limits the places you can go.

For me if I was going this large would do a 5th wheel. Every time I see someone with a huge bumper pull it looks awkward.

We got a few of these camera packs as samples from Furrion. Truth be told the only one that is really helpful is the rear view camera. It's pretty good and I'm glad I have it - both for backing up and just to see what's going on behind us as we're going down the road.

I have had Pro Trailer Assist on my F-150s (including a recent 2021 Powerboost). I can see how it would be helpful if you are not used to backing trailers. Personally, I don't use it as I'm used to doing it the normal way.

I would love to hear if anybody has found a good towing mirror that works for the Rivian. . .
