Trailer sensor kit!?!

When I bought my 23 dually the sales guy put a Ford trailer sensor kit in my back seat . Is this for my pro trailer assist!?! I don’t plan on ever using it . Is it really required? I already hooked up my
gooseneck trailer and made sure all the lights etc worked . Is this kit just for the back up assist? Thanks !

Got the same thing on my 22 F350. I believe you’ll only need it if you want to do a gooseneck or 5th wheel trailer assist. I don’t use mine either.

thanks ! I have my class A license for a reason 😂 I don’t trust a piece of electrical hardware more than my own hands and experience .

pro assist. Never used it either. I read though the stuff, looked at the kit and decided mirrors are the way to go, lol.

there is a reason I have a class A.

Pro Backup assist is not needed, just learn how to back a trailer. Geez Ford.

OTOH, Ford's Trailer TPMS system is worth installing. Saved my trailer and wheel from damage just yesterday when a sidewall blew out at 80mph on I-80.
