Trail turn assist

[Klink]

Coming from crew cab f-150 that "turns like a rhinoceros ", is it possible to use the trail turn assist to get into a tight parking space at the mall?
I guess my question is, can I use this feature on pavement without screwing up my rig?

Yes. Yes you can. Don’t let anybody tell you otherwise. Can’t wait to do donuts in the middle of an intersection with this feature.

Flat spot on the Homer is what worries me.

To answer this honestly: It’s only meant to be utilized on surfaces that allow slip (like sand). On a high traction surface worst case you’ll make a ton of noise and scrub away rubber, worst case you’ll have binding or high forces acting against mechanical components, brakes, etc.

But really, we all know a whole bunch of us are just gonna send it.

So maybe only do it if the asphalt is wet?

This thread is the reason Ford is offering upgraded half shafts in the accessory list. This is 5 diamond mall crawling!
