Trailer Back up Assist

[PNBC4Run]

Hi, we have 2026 TRD Sport with the Tow Tech Package, towing Airstream Caravel 16rb. Has anyone used the Trailer Back up Assist? If so, any tips or advice would be appreciated.

I’ve got a 2026 ORP but haven’t used the back up assist yet due to the boat being stuck in snow until recently. Hoping to try it out in the next couple of weeks.

Curious on this myself.

I don’t know if it works well or not, but my recommendation is to learn to back up a trailer using your side mirrors if you don‘t already know how to. It’s a big game changer. I back up my trailer 400 feet in a curved road now. I wouldn’t have been able to do that 20 years ago. I get better every year.

Technology is nice, but if you drive something without or it breaks down, you’re in a pickle unless you can do it old school.

When my 4R arrives, if it has the back up assist, I will still try it though.

I believe it’s the same system as in other Toyota trucks -
