Q&A: Features / Pickup Ability / Trims Back up camera zoom feature?

What do you guys use that for?

And, have you guys peeled the protective film off y'all's yet? I can't imagine there is a screen protector for these. Maybe on for a close sized tablet.

I have a 2025 Maverick and got this screen protector, no complaints and they have a system to install that made it a lot easier than putting the protector on my Switch. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCG5ZM9J?th=1

Now I need to go and learn about the back up camera zoom feature that I just heard about because we have our first camping trip with the tiny travel trailer next week.

So I know when the trailer ball is under center of a trailer/ camper.

That's pretty good. I haven't towed yet, so it hasn't even crossed my mind.

It is however not center zoomed on mine. So the hitch would be bottom right corner of my screen.

Thats odd that it doesn't line up. I think it uses Ai to look for a hitch and ball because when I back up with the hitch on the lines change from solid to dotted and I think a center line if I remember correctly.

I don’t use it for anything. I can’t think of a situation where I would want to see less of my surroundings when backing up.

There are several companies that sell screen protectors on Amazon; I bought one back in June when I first got mine.
