  1. When the truck tells you to do it.
  2. Do you have a trailer profile setup for that trailer and are you using it?
  3. And also, why not use the parking/emergency brake? You have no brakes when only in park.
  4. Take it to a brake shop with free checks.
  5. Well, that's what I would expect, and why people install DC to DC chargers, instead. You probably have about 370 Amps on your alternators, which is irrelevant, in this case.
  6. I don't think so, but I will check when I am back in town. I typically turn it on and off during long drives, so I can see my maps and music controls instead. It really is just one button to toggle it on/off when you're going to pass or you want to see what's going on behind you though. I mounted the TPMS transmitter to the back of the front cross-beam on the frame of my trailer. It works well there. This set of wire covers made it super easy to nicely hide wires going up the back side and across to the center of the trailer for the camera: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KFQRH33/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  7. I installed that system myself, and I love it. I give it 5 stars for the quality of the camera compared to Furrion Vison S cameras that most trailers are wired for. The truck remembers the last camera you were using. Just hit the top (right, I think) button, and it comes back up. Quite easy to get used to. I highly recommend it. I also love keeping that camera on while towing as it really helps you know when you have completely passed another vehicle. I have the 360 system and 5th wheel prep. I can't imagine why the dealer would charge $450. The truck part of the job took about 10 minutes to swap out the connector on the back. The trailer was the hard part.
  8. There's no comparison between any F150 and a Super Duty for towing. Get the SD Tremor if you want some off-road capability, and lower the tire pressure when not towing.
  9. I wonder if it is partly your carrier or phone. I have not had that problem with Verizon in my F350. If you know someone with another carrier or phone, try theirs. I only use bluetooth with an andriod phone (Galaxy S20+ currently). Works perfectly.
  10. I always use the e-brake and have never had a problem. Why isn't that a permanent solution? It's what you're supposed to do.
  11. I installed it on my travel trailer and it is excellent. The sensors go to sleep, so you have to start moving to wake them up, after the initial install, but they have been great. I stuck the amplifier/transmitter under the front of the trailer, attached to a cross-frame member. The TPMS is easy. Had a tire shop install the sensors in the wheels. If you get the camera too (it's far superior to the Furrion cameras), the wiring can be tricky. I fished it above the underbelly and up the back side. I got adhesive cable covers that snap shut for the back and top (to get it to the center). Looks factory, and the camera is excellent.
  12. What do you mean you're not seeing them? They are buttons on the dash, with the lever.
  13. Try a different browser. Chrome worked for me, on a PC.
  14. Your main lights need to be set on auto. The high beam stick forces high on.
  15. I don't think it's the adaptive steering. Likely tires or suspension issues. Maybe loose parts.
  16. Mine have never leaked, in any vehicle, in Seattle. Only the minority with issues make noise. - expected...
  17. East of WA on trip to Tetons, diesel was about 5.80/gallon and DEF was about $3.99 per gallon at truck stops using OpenRoads/TSD fuel card. You guys know you can just look all this up on GasBuddy, right? OpenRoads app for their program. Not sure why this thread keeps going.
  18. My 2022 F350 6.7 Tremor Lariat, with a bed cover (Renegade), towing a 9000lb travel trailer (scaled we were 18,900 lbs total) from Redmond, WA to Grand Tetons and back, and not exceeding 75mph, got 12mpg. I could easily do better than that by going slower, but 80 mph speed limit most of the way makes it unsafe to go much slower than 75. Crossing multiple mountain ranges multiple times (Cascades, Rockies, Teton passes, etc), I'm happy with it. The thing that sucked was being behind a gas-powered pickup towing another travel trailer that could not go anywhere near the speed limit leaving Jackson, WY west-bound, for almost 100 miles through mountains. What an ass to not get out of the way. Finally got a passing zone that worked. It was an 1800 mile trip. I get about 20 mpg around town, not towing, in a hilly area.
  19. You could not have ordered a 21 in April 21. The order banks closed in Feb 21 for 21s. 22 order bank opened March 15, 2021. I know. I ordered my 22 on March 18th 21, and it took 9.5 months to get it.
  20. That's wrong. Customer ordered trucks do not affect dealer allocation. In fact, they get an additional allocation if they have done it right.
  21. You update the truck's computer using Forscan or a tool available from S&B.
  22. AS is great. Just wait for it. I did and am glad I did. Console vault? Why? The center console locks with the key already.
  23. I don't like flares. Also, there will be no rust since they now use aluminum. So no reason to get them.
