Backup camera locating trailer hitch feature?

[BillHanna]

I was backing up to my trailer yesterday, and as I got close to the hitch, I noticed a vertical gray bar on the camera that indicated if I was aligned to the hitch.
Is this a known feature, or am I just losing it in my old age?

Yes, nice feature. Your mind is good.

Cool. Thank you for responding.
Now I'm trying to think of a way to see if my 2023 has that feature.

I didn't look close without backing to a trailer, but I wonder if that gray line is just a center guideline. I noticed it curved like the outer lines do when turning. It did seem to get darker when close to the hitch.

Bill,
I had to use my bike rack as a simulation for a trailer. I did turn my steering wheel to show the white guidelines.
Ford may have changed something in the software for 2024.
I have no Gray Line other than the end of my bumper and the garage driveway seam.

When I touch the plus sign in the upper left-hand corner for a close up trailer view. I still don't get any gray line and my white parking lines disappear. I still have the segmented black Center Line as pictured below.
