The truck’s integration of advanced driver aids like Trailer Sway Control and Integrated Trailer Brake Controller emphasizes responsive, stable towing—making it easier for both novice and expert towers alike.
- Maximized Visibility: Multiple camera angles, including a transparent trailer view, enhance awareness and reduce stress when backing up, turning, or lane changing.
