Was wondering if anyone has got the perpendicular park working on a 2019 Wildtrak?

I can't see why it would use any more sensors than the parallel park?

It uses ultrasonics for parking, no camera vision or anything fancy like that. No reason why it can't work for a reverse perpendicular park, they just didn't bother to program it to do that.

Maybe they were nervous about the car interfering with opposite lane and being held liable.

I wouldn't mind having the feature on my 2017 XLT for the wife.

Try it, don't rely on it. Ranger only has 4 rear sensors and not 6.
