What you see in Ford Pass is a very basic version of what Ford employees and technicians can see. The Ford diagnostic website has a very detailed report of every code that sets and when it set, but only certain Ford dealer and corporate employees have access to it.
I'm going to miss that once I retire

How's your turning radius? LOL.
Queen F* Mary has a tighter turning radius

Salesman told me that cannot add AS to any super duty at this time period. I think this is bs since I am unscheduled and have not been previewed. Can anyone confirm ??
It was a restriction on stock order. Ice may be able to weigh in on if retail can be ordered with AS, but it's been on limited build for months.

i don't have AS nor have I ever driven a vehicle with it. Mine tracks perfectly and requires very little input to adjust steering.

First time I've tried tracking a rail car, is this usually how rail shipping goes? I have a feeling that the car tracking data is a bit less than accurate but......
Pretty much. It was agonizing watching mine go 100 miles and stop for 24-36 hours, another 100 miles, another rest period. And then the depot... what a cluster that was for my truck. I should have written down the exact dates, but it was almost 2 weeks, and it was a pure accident it got picked up by the trucking company

In my F150 towing a smaller travel trailer (23ft), premium non ethanol gas was amazing. I didn't check fuel economy, but it definitely improved engine performance.

On the other hand, Parks Ford of Wesley Chapel was amazing!
I had my oil change and a minor warranty item done there. Nice dealership.

If you want it, I wouldn't wait. But it's not a listed option now so it may not be possible. I just checked to see if I could build an order with 2-tone paint and even that isn't an option now..
Ford's online build is fraught with errors. I took a copy of the order guide to the dealership with me and I had all the options to order highlighted. The dealer will either be able to ender the code or they won't.

Sorry, I asked him what would happen if the factory re-tooled for the ‘23’s. He told me “That’s a good question’”, and he owns the dealership.
Online sources will generally indicate what is expected in upcoming model year. Ford hasn't publicly released any info, including timing. Given the current state of the order bank, there's likely going to be some unhappy customers.

I had TST on my TT and loved it. You are correct on the wheel issue, luckily mine fit the 5th wheel tires.
Thinking out loud here, but would 19.5" diameter TPMS sensors fit the trailer tires, and would the system recognize them? I do recognize the pressure issue too.

I had it on a 2018 F350 dually. I now have a 2020 F350 without it. Ordered a 2022 F350 and there is no way I am willing to drop AS. To me, it made a big difference. Especial with the long bed and the steering radius of the F350. I dropped the 5th wheel prep and spray in liner. I know they will want me to drop AS next but I'm having no part of it. If that means a 2023MY, so be it.
how does AS impact steering radius? The turn angle is limited by hard points and I wouldn't expect assist to impact the angle.

My dealer has told me several times that they have the allocation for April and that I should be on it as I am technically the oldest order at the dealership.
Ice has repeatedly stated that retail orders are separate and not impacted by dealer allocation.

I really want the F250, because GM says HD truck buyers don't want Adaptive Cruise so it's not an available option.
I LOVE adaptive cruise, especially when towing. It's not perfect, and I'd love to change the programming slightly. I'd question GM if this was really a decision based on customer survey's or an exec that heard from a friend that he hated adaptive cruise.

Meh.....
Trailer tire look smooshed...me stop fill.....no look smoosh keep drive.
Lol just kidding.
That would be a handy tool to have as trailer tires are not the easiest to monitor min by min by mirror, and WHEN you do get a flat you RARELY ever catch it in the optimal time to prevent damage to tire/rim or whatever.
Been there, done that!?
Former travel trailer I had, came with China Bombs. I can't count the number of forum or FB pages where the tires just suddenly let loose and do several thousand dollars of damage. One guy had TST TPMS and the TPMS wasn't showing an issue, tire just self destroyed itself and the side of the trailer. That's rare, as most tire issues come from driving on low pressure. Having truck keep track of tire pressure on the trailer seems like a seamless solution.

I've been vacillating over which tonneau to buy, my current truck doesn't have one, and I really want one for the new beast. This thread has been really helpful!
I'm 99% decided on the Backflip now
I enjoy the hard roll up cover. I wouldn't get it with a short bed... not even completely happy with the space it takes up in the LB. I can stand on it, even put a ladder on it. I can roll it up to cover as little of the bed as needed. When towing, I put it about 3" in front of the hitch, everything underneath stays dry.

Friend of a friend had issues getting his trailer TPMS set up. Spent over two weeks at the Ford dealer trying to figure it out. What ever the problem was, the tech never offered it to the truck owner.
My first choice was a local dealer last fall. I had ONE DAY that it could be installed and they called me the night before the appt, and said they had no staff
That meant I had to find someone else, and everybody was busy and couldn't take the literally walk in appt.
So, I had to wait until we got home, and Discount Tire's response, was we don't know how to install TPMS... WTF??? Ended up making an appt with Belle Tire, and they said no problem. Unfortunately, again, I had one day, and of course we had snow squalls, and me being the genius I am wore a wind breaker and tennis shows.
We also had some issue trying to figure out how to jack the trailer up, and it didn't go as well as I would have like. I'm going to spend some time trying to figure out how to do this on the road, and even in the (albeit wet) parking lot wasn't fun. Independent suspension doesn't have a great lift point.
So, given my friend of a friends experience I was expecting difficulty, but had to drive about 25 miles to get home and had my wife help me get the TPMS hooked to the truck, and it went very well. I'll fill the tires back up once it gets a bit warmer and double check the readings once I add more are to the tires.
I'm happy to have trailer TPMS on the truck!

Wow road turtle you are moving faster than any turtle.... ever
I called the timing to the end of covid, called it spot on. We're being played.

When not towing, it will show when full 7,000 miles available. Start towing, and I went through almost 4 gallons in a little over 1,000 miles.

Ukraine is not clean. US was also doing bio weapon research in Ukraine too.
WRT to even CNN starting to question Biden, wait for it...
Kamala will resign sometime late spring early summer. Obama will step up to be VP, and Biden will be 25th'd. Obama will appoint hillary to be his VP. Read 22nd amendment very slowly, it was never set up for this situation. Obama can't run for re-election, but he can be appointed.

If kamala resigns, we are doomed.

remove that optional GVWR. IRC, F250 is 11.4 standard, but I'd need to open the order guide. You threw in an artificial restrictions by doing that, which is used in some states for legal reasons.
