There is provided a method of predicting a path of a trailer attached to a vehicle, comprising: measuring a vehicle steering angle by a computing unit of a vehicle; obtaining first and second views by an image processor of the vehicle, from at least two rearward-looking video cameras mounted on the vehicle; determining a trailer view from the views; displaying the view on a driver-visible screen; determining a hitch angle, et, and a parameter store of the vehicle, between the vehicle and trailer and using the view; calculating a predicted path of the trailer from the angles; displaying the path as an overlaid track on the view; tracking a marker associated with the trailer across a field of view of at least one camera; and converting a vertical displacement of the marker in the field of view to an angular displacement to determine a pitch angle.
