Backup assist?

[Pastusak.t]

Anybody else catch the knob above the 4wd selector buttons? It looks an awful lot like fords backup assist. Maybe some tech they haven’t announced yet? Guess we’ll find out soon enough!

It's a selector nob for something now not sure  for what.

Was assuming it was a selector for the 2wd/4wd systems. Cannot imagine they would put something as sensitive as park assist over top of drive systems.

It’s a drive mode selector for things like “sport” mode. Maybe even “eco” & “tow” etc.

This.

 

On the lower trims it has white logos that are there all the time.

On the upper trims the dial locations are backlit and only light up when you select that particular mode.

That's where the trailer brake gain switch is located on my 2017.. Could that be the new style switch?

No they moved the trailer brake control to the lower right of the steering column (near the AUX switches).

Awwww... that would make sense. Looks like the mode selector in the acadia.
