Trail Turn Assist?

Saw this on one of the Facebook forums. Do any of you have this feature? Or is this another Ford Software "enhancement"?

Strange, I thought it was only available on the Bronco.

What it actually does according to Ford:
"Trail turn assist can reduce the turning radius of your vehicle by applying the brakes to the inside rear wheel in low-speed, high steering-angle maneuvers."

Edit: I'm wrong. Found this:

Wonder if someone switched it on via ForScan. @Whammy Bar do you have a link to the post?

Seems like a "new" truck of unknown year. And not something done intentionally....

It is available on more models, like the SuperDuty and the F150 Tremors, and probably now the Ranger Tremor/Raptor.

Since the capability to modulate the brakes individually is part of ABS and traction control, no other hardware should be needed.

Just my guess, for what it’s worth…….

Totally agree.

I enabled "Hill Descent Control" on my 2013 F-150. FORScan and a <$10 button. Never used it once except testing it going out my development. Simply regulates the braking on each wheel to hold the set speed.

This is pretty clearly the same concept, just on one wheel.

I expect it would work if similar tech was available on the 2013s. Has anyone tested it on dirt? Probably wouldn't use it but one never knows where you might end up.
