The North American trailer assist system market has grown in a unique way because many people in the area own RVs, boats, horse trailers, and utility trailers, which makes towing a big part of their lives. In areas where trailers are mostly used for business, this is not the case. Here, consumer demand has been driven by recreational and lifestyle needs. OEMs like Ford, GM, and Ram were the first to make mass-market tools like Pro Trailer Backup Assist, multi-angle trailer cameras, and integrated steering controls. These tools are now standard in pickups and SUVs. Agencies like NHTSA and FMCSA helped make safety and integration even better.

The North American auto market is mostly focused on trucks, so it's not surprising that pickups are still the main platform for trailer assist innovation. In addition to steering aids, OEMs are creating complete ecosystems that include tire pressure monitoring, clear views of trailers, and digital dashboard integration. Recreational activities like boating, camping, and owning an RV keep driving up demand, making trailer assist a necessity for most people instead of a luxury. Ford, GM, and Stellantis are the leaders in the US auto industry, and their brand loyalty and cultural resonance shape the competition. On the other hand, Toyota and Volkswagen change their products to fit local needs.
