A method of maneuvering a vehicle in reverse for attachment to a trailer, includes receiving a trailer hitch receiver image location shown within one or more images from at least one vehicle camera. The method also includes determining, a pixel angular difference in the image between a tow vehicle fore-aft axis and a trailer fore-aft axis, determining a pixel distance between a tow vehicle hitch ball and a hitch receiver, and determining a vehicle path from an initial position to a final position adjacent the trailer. The vehicle path includes maneuvers configured to move the vehicle along the vehicle path from the initial position to the final position. Then autonomously following, at a drive system in communication with the computing device, the vehicle path from the initial position to the final position.
