And by "Pro," I mean goof. I walk through the entire set-up and use of Ford's new trailer backing system.

When hooking up your trailer (chains) cables, you always want to CROSS them. It takes out the slack so if the trailer were to come off the ball, it won’t drag on the ground. It’ll still be suspended in the air. Peace of advice.

@ObsessedGarage 6 лет назад

Got it.

@rustynail2205 6 лет назад

Obsessed Garage, in Ontario Canada it is the law and I bet it is in Florida as well. Knowing how precise and fanatical for doing things the best way please cross them. BTW, love your channel.

@bradenwuesthoff5639 6 лет назад

Yes and no. This raptor to my knowledge doesnt have chain loops under the hitch so he is forced to use the tow hooks on the bumper. If he crossed them. The cables would bind while turning

@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power 6 лет назад

Braden Wuesthoff a hitch receiver with no chain hooks? what???🤔

@ObsessedGarage 6 лет назад

I found them. They are way up under there. I never noticed them before.

@BryanCooksey 6 лет назад

You backed it into the garage "blind side" It's much easier to see backing to the left. If you can pull up so the garage is on the left side, give it a try. You won't have to get out of the truck to see where the trailer is.

@rogerserafin 6 лет назад

Pretty dialed set-up for those that are just beginning with backing up a trailer. Nice Matt. Thanks.

@WillMotivation 6 лет назад

I've been thinking about getting a trailer to haul my cars around for different events... Going to enjoy this video.

@Smoove233 6 лет назад

What kinda truck you have?

@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power 6 лет назад

Caleb Whitted so far it's been a secret on the channel.

@ExhaustedOfficial 6 лет назад

Would fancy a trailer in a few years when I can afford one😂 great video as always mate

@xiingli 6 лет назад

Damn, your raptor looks so bad ass. Especially in the scene with it backing the trailer in. That thing is a beast!

@Poorschedriver 6 лет назад

I gotta hand it to Ford, it really seems like a great feature for people who just can't grasp backing a trailer. I'm also impressed at how well it seems to work, though I'd be interested to see how it works at night or in bad weather. In any case Matt, I hope in time you can learn to take off the electronic training wheels and figure it out for yourself. There is something strangely satisfying about threading the needle with a trailer perfectly. Overall good video and Fuck the haters giving you crap about safety chains and not knowing what you're doing; you're still learning. Good luck my friend.

@auburn587 6 лет назад

Matt put your safety chains on the slot on either side of your ball, don’t use the tow hooks because that’s not what they’re for, also cross safety chains as others have said

@rustynail2205 6 лет назад

auburn587 great catch, I totally missed that.

@ObsessedGarage 6 лет назад

Yep...learn something new every day. They are tucked so far up in there, I didn't notice them on both Raptors.

@DISBLACKFEET 6 лет назад

Exactly what I was thinking

@kolbis99 6 лет назад

That's pretty awesome.

@RS-io6vm 5 лет назад

coolest trucks ever. the 427 will be insane

@rooster3019 6 лет назад

The guys below have given good advice about chains and how to see better, I am better than "fair to middling" at backing and was not going to set mine up.. But, maybe I will just to see. Also driving 2018 Raptor, mine a crew cab. I do not pull large trailers with it, just 3500# utility. Does great. Marvelous trucks!

@carterxiong8878 5 лет назад

I know I'm a little late on this but... You probably don't wanna hook the safety chain on the bumper hook. You were supposed to hook it underneath where on the hitch, there is one loop on each side and that how you were supposed to connect it to. Also, always cross them so the hitch doesn't drag on the ground.

@airsnipe4 6 лет назад

If you can line up your parking spot on the drivers side you can use the mirror and windows to line up. Backing up to the "blind (passenger) side" is a little bit harder without wide tow mirrors. Also after you check that you're clear, try to focus on one mirror and pick a spot behind the trailer you're trying to "hit". When you keep looking from mirror to mirror it's much harder to focus on a point and you'll tend to over correct your steering inputs. Just some tips my uncle that drove semis taught me!

@fluorescentblackhole 6 лет назад

You need an OG Sticker on that blue raptor

@MpLxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx 6 лет назад

This works the same as putting your hand on the bottom of the steering wheel, or the 6 position if you will, much easier to learn to back a trailer this way

@ObsessedGarage 6 лет назад

This is much easier.

@rocky31186 6 лет назад

I have not seen the new raptor back bumpers but did you hook the trailer safety chains to the truck tow hooks? Does it not have trailer hooks near the ball like every other truck? I would imagine your chains being all the way out there will not fare as well as a normal truck safety chain location.

@bradenwuesthoff5639 6 лет назад

rocky31186 wondering the same thing

@blizsgarage8487 6 лет назад

Quite the initial setup, but it looks like it does the trick. If you find truck sagging too much with trailer load, air ride has great helper bag system installs with bags, compressor, tank, gauges, line, etc. 2 hour install .

@DavidJWarEagle 6 лет назад

Obsessed Garage Is the reverse monitor mirrored so that you turn the knob in the direction you want the trailer to go? It looked like the wheel was mimicking the direction that you turned the knob. It would be helpful to see the trailer backed in from your perspective inside the cab. I used to pull a 33' gooseneck two car hauler for recreation. My longest trip was from Alabama to Colorado hauling two Jeeps (that was a great trip). Reversing wasn't awful but I was selective about when I did. Generally I would try to avoid it, if possible, by parking where I could pull through. I usually only needed to back the trailer for storage, the same as your scenario. P.S. The "collector" where you put your aluminum hitch is called a receiver, as far as I know.

@ObsessedGarage 6 лет назад

I joke a bit about my backing skills. People take it so literally, but I also think most dudes aren't willing to admit they aren't good at something. Backing a 33' trailer is not easy not matter how much practice you have. You only do it when you have to do it.

@S_K_U_L_L_S 6 лет назад

Like the video man. Love the attention to details. This video is much better than a manual, actually it should be Ford's official manual to trailers. /Respect

@ObsessedGarage 6 лет назад

Thanks man.

@TheFi1thyCasual 6 лет назад

Interesting.. Glad Ford reengineered the steering wheel and mirrors 👍. I kid, great vid.

@belindamercer4505 3 года назад

This house was the best

@73henny 6 лет назад

Interesting video. When you put the sticker on the driver's side of trailer, why does it appear on the passenger side when viewed on the backup camera screen?

@NovemberFoxtrotRC 6 лет назад

73henny I think the truck mirrors the camera. Making turning the knob he was using reverse the usual steering inputs that you'd use to back a trailer. It's cool I guess but I think it makes it more difficult for someone to learn how to manually back a trailer. You're going to be all screwed up if that's how it actually works...

@ryanfeatherston9674 6 лет назад

Tip: when unhooking the trailer, so you don’t get water on your head when you lower it down, ALWAYS bring the nose down in case it rains. Just a little tip.

@ObsessedGarage 6 лет назад

Smart

@HORALE714 6 лет назад

Any Vids on the trailer getting dailed in....???

@ArthurJGuy 6 лет назад

Your chains should be crossed and connected to the tow strap hooks, not the tow hooks, also your trailer brake activation cable has way to much slack in it. I've had a trailer come off the hitch and it's not pretty when these things aren't done properly.

@DOCRUZ85 6 лет назад

Matt, will you do a different exhaust on the Raptor?

@ObsessedGarage 6 лет назад

No, it's stock. I don't think I'm going to mess with this one.

@cubedmack 6 лет назад

Love both of your Raptors, but I think you should trade in the gen2 raptor on a F250 diesel since you tow a lot. I think you would love the new F250.

@imranp128 6 лет назад

cubedmack won’t get him views. People search ford raptor. Not f250

@dickyarger2945 6 лет назад

You should get the intergrated trailer camera that links into the Ford System.

@dickyarger2945 6 лет назад

nevermind I think it is only available on the super duty's.

@smcox1991 6 лет назад

I told you you're life would be a lot easier if you just backed it in with the truck lol! I find that assist more of a pain in the ass the only thing I would use it for is the blind spot monitoring. It does look like it's good for people who aren't real confident in backing a trailer up and should help with your backing up skills when you can't use the assist.

@Gooody17 6 лет назад

did anyone else fall alseep during this video and wake up to it still playing?

@scooter0241 6 лет назад

The best advice I can give you other than practice without using the assist is don't back up on your blind side. Try and always back up on the driver side. It'll save you from questioning where you're trailer is at

@WA-uq1rh 6 лет назад

FYI - There shouldn’t be any CO from your exhaust since your truck is still new. CO results from incomplete combustion which tends to happen in older vehicles when fuel/air ratio are messed up. 👍🏼. That’s not to say that the clean exhaust is good for you anyway ☺️.

@iceee187 6 лет назад

I remember the day when my raptor had a full tank. Prolly the day I drove it off the lot.

@Audittr2108 6 лет назад

I have regular parking assist on my car. Had it a year and still finding it amazing when parallel parking. Witchcraft!

@eddie6536 6 лет назад

What package did you get on the truck?? And also what cover is that for the bed? And is that the normal bed size?

@ObsessedGarage 6 лет назад

802A, no carbon fiber or orange inserts. I also opted for no sunroof. The bed cover is a Ford Performance aftermarket part. There is only one bed option on the Raptor.

@eddie6536 6 лет назад

Thanks!!

@ziggy149 6 лет назад

So, have you experienced the rear end kick out at highway speeds during a curve while hitting a bump? I keep hearing this from other owners.

@ObsessedGarage 6 лет назад

Hmmm... I haven't.

@ziggy149 6 лет назад

That's encouraging - since I know you likely drive with purpose; as do I. I have a 2017 TRD Pro currently and I haven't experienced anything but it being planted solid as well.

@enforceOM 6 лет назад

Your voice always sounds like you're dead tired lol

@ObsessedGarage 6 лет назад

Sorry, I'll fake it for you next time.

@enforceOM 6 лет назад

Lol no nothing wrong with that. I know you're a busy man with your business and RU-vid. Just making an observation.

@ObsessedGarage 6 лет назад

I get this a lot. I know who and what I am. For better or for worse, I think if I keep doing me rather than some caricature that we all benefit in the long wrong. Those that are bored by this will move on and those that want to know the real will get that. I look at it as a win for everyone.

@DirtRacerProductions 6 лет назад

Yeah think I'll just stick to backing my shit in manually.

@anthonykrcik8505 6 лет назад

There should be trailer chain hooks right next to the hitch. You shouldn’t have to use the hooks meant for towing the truck out of a ditch. It could be bad if the hitch came undone and your chains aren’t crossed and are attached to the wrong hooks.

@Patrick94GSR 6 лет назад

Raising the hitch puts more weight on the tongue? I would have thought the opposite, more weight transferred towards the back of the trailer and less towards the front.

@Garage732 6 лет назад

What trailer hitch are you using?

@ObsessedGarage 6 лет назад

It's a Weighsafe.

@n9owr331 10 месяцев назад

I get stucked in the reverse step. For my ford raptor 2018.

@TakodaEhlin 6 лет назад

I wonder how many people will actually go through the process of setting it up? I know I wouldn't because it seems tedious and backing up a trailer is relatively easy once you know what you're doing. But to each their own. No hate, just commenting my opinion.

@Speednote10 6 лет назад

I'm the complete opposite, I would do it for the fun of it. A bit like setting up a tv, computer or sound system and then dialing in (sorry) the software once you're done. I love that sort of stuff. And who doesn't like a good bit of measuring to begin with! ;) + I would go nuts if I had the system in the car and didn't set it up for my trailer. To me it would feel like there was something....unfinished, for a lack of a better word. Maybe OCD is a better way to describe it.. =)

@battletime37 6 лет назад

How does the knob make backing up easier? All it seems to do is turn the wheel for you. Does it do something else, or does it just make the behavior more predictable by letting a computer do it? I love Ford, but the knob has never made sense to me. I love your videos, by the way!

@ObsessedGarage 6 лет назад

I thought it was worthless to, but for some reason it's much more intuitive.

@muresantibor3461 6 лет назад

dude, you have a lot if time on your hand :)))

@ObsessedGarage 6 лет назад

Me? No, I do not.

@jordanjohnson7264 6 лет назад

Hey Matt I don’t think anyone had mentioned it yet, but I think you outta cross your trailer chains for safety if it ever came loose. lol... I have come to the conclusion that rather than read the comments, people just leave them.

@ObsessedGarage 6 лет назад

Yeah, a few pointed that out. I hadn't noticed the actual trailer connection points that were up under the bumper.

@lilfundy 6 лет назад

Does he realy think there's that much carbon monoxide coming out of his exhaust at idle ??

@ObsessedGarage 6 лет назад

Yes

@ryanfeatherston9674 6 лет назад

There’s not in his face, especially when his head is over the jack of the trailer.

@Sam-kg6ti 6 лет назад

@tailopez5106 6 лет назад

You should paint match the plastics on the raptor

@ObsessedGarage 6 лет назад

Dropping it off tomorrow to get that done.

@tailopez5106 6 лет назад

Obsessed Garage nice 👌

@colby2150 6 лет назад

Nah, instead i would just count your nipple hair live on myspace

@ericmelo9731 5 лет назад

So instead of you blind siding always back from your drivers side.

@SuperBlackhawkdriver 3 года назад

after watching this video I have concluded that I will never attempt to use this feature

@MrBlazku 6 лет назад

You should play some Euro Truck Simulator 2 to learn how to back up a trailer.

@sgt.gaming3846 6 лет назад

The hooks that you attach to your truck you never want to put them directly to the hook that's in front of it you want to cross them

@ObsessedGarage 6 лет назад

I've never heard of that.

@FastlifeTodd 4 года назад

Took me about 20 minutes to set up my Pro Trailer on my 18 F-150 and for all the guys that say be a real man and just learn how to back up a trailer. I know how to back up a trailer and this is especially useful when backing up my empty SeaDoo trailer when retrieving from the boat ramp idk who you are I can retrieve my SeaDoo way faster than all the REAL men that don’t have Pro Trailer. As I Jetski with a lot of guys from my jetski club and they are always impressed with the system and how easily it makes backing up .

@philladouglas 6 лет назад

man there is a lot of keys needed for a trailer

@ObsessedGarage 6 лет назад

Tell me about it.

@fk3321 6 лет назад

soo instead of turning the steering wheel, you turn a knob the opposite direction.... hmmmm

@TyBrink 6 лет назад

K Fisher I think maybe if you can back a trailer up already this might be more confusing lol.

@anthonykrcik8505 6 лет назад

You just watch the screen and turn the knob accordingly not opposite

@fk3321 6 лет назад

You just proved my point on who needs this product. The knob turns the opposite way of the steering wheel. (the steering wheel is turning the "correct way")

@andyman8662 6 лет назад

it would also keep it straight if you don't touch it.

@fk3321 6 лет назад

Matt Pavliscsak in the real world you watch the mirrors and turn the wheel. This invention is useless. He said it in the video, “with a spotter this would be much easier” , my point is that the product did not help him back up the trailer.... it only changed the way he operates he truck

@ThomasPowersYouTube 6 лет назад

It's weird to see Matt in pants

@samthibeault5649 6 лет назад

If you can't back up a trailer, don't pull a trailer

@ObsessedGarage 6 лет назад

Yeah...boi...

@knonamer 6 лет назад

That plastic tailgate accent really takes away from the look of the truck imo. Any plans for color matching ?

@ObsessedGarage 6 лет назад

I'm having it painted gloss black.

@montage6335 6 лет назад

learn to backup a trailer like a real man. this seems like such a waste of time. just hookup the trailer & go.

@ObsessedGarage 6 лет назад

Real men use capital letters.

@montage6335 6 лет назад

HA! SERIOUSLY, THAT THE BEST YOU GOT? lol

@livinglife7042 5 лет назад

If people get paid to watch someone I guess it’s time to start teaching people to drive over sized loads with heavy duty cranes on them I wish you tube didn’t pay for this crap

@ObsessedGarage 5 лет назад

Ha, ha... I guess that's a good skill to learn. I was just showing people how I'm figuring it out.

@livinglife7042 5 лет назад

You got a good thing going watch a lot of videos I have the older model truck I was seeing if you was going to talk more about the kamikaze coats instead of the backing up but you can make videos off of anything now days I guess

@tylercousins7779 5 лет назад

Waste of time. What do you do when its dark or snow or if the sticker is dirty or the camera is dirty or foggy or about 100 other things it cant detect. If you cant back it up properly then you shouldn’t be pulling a trailer. By the time you finish positioning the trailer and farting around, ill be parked and half way through my first beer.

@ObsessedGarage 5 лет назад

I don't drink beer, so I'll be just fine.
