Has anyone here set up the decal and used the backup assist on other trucks? I'm curious if you thought it was worth it and does it really make backing up a trailer easier? Personally, I have no trouble backing up trailers the old fashioned way so I've never bothered setting it up on my previous vehicles. But I know not everyone grew up backing up 4-wheeled wagons with a tractor either.

I have a 2024 Ranger XLT FX4 4X4 with pro backup assist. Once trailer was calibrated back up assist works great. Really makes backing up a trailer easy
Would recommend setting this up. Plus it's fun to use.

I set it up and tried it. Once. I didn't like it at all.
Also grew up backing trailers.

It's not better than experience for sure, but I think it really helps with smaller trailers. The trailer I use the most is 5 1/2 x 8 feet and I can't see it out of my mirrors at all. It's much easier to keep straight with the PTBA than without. My complaint with the PTBA is that it really limits the turn radius. If you want to pull into a drive way 90 degrees, you really need to cross into the other lane before you start using it.
