A method and system for estimating hitch angle between a vehicle and a trailer coupled thereto. The system has a wireless receiver on the vehicle located a predetermined distance from a trailer mount, a wireless transmitter located at an end of the trailer opposite the trailer mount, and a controller for monitoring power returns of a signal transmitted from the transmitter to the receiver and for estimating a distance between the transmitter and the receiver as a function of a path loss propagation of the transmitted signal. The bitch angle is estimated using the estimated distance, the predetermined distance and a trailer length.
