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.

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 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!

have the camera's checked out, mine are beautifully clear

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.

Canada??? I used to make a monthly trip across the border. Vehicle I would take got a thorough look over for any loose rounds or even loose brass and anything that might resemble even a knife.

Wife and I have been known to compete in firearms competitions. If I wandered into CA, WA, OR, they'd probably throw away the key.

I have an Arctic Fox... it's tough to find a dealer east of the Mississippi river, much less a rally... Now, when I retire, all bets are off, except I won't go into any west coast state.

Did you do the VIN check? It's not unusual for recall items to be cleared up at KTP before dealers get the update. You see this more frequently on mechanical components, Ford will make sure the component mfg is shipping good parts, but they may not have enough to feed the dealers, or they haven't developed a repair process yet.

Generally, that's a true statement. I got involved in one recall, that was issued as a stop ship, but not stop delivery.

your salesman is an idiot, vehicle visibility report is real, and it has a LOT of data we can't use, but it also has critical information the dealer can pass along to you. Call the sales manager at the dealership. If you meet the qualifications you can ask for a status update in the proper sub forum.

working from home has it's benefits... and it's negatives. It's a LOT harder to leave the computer, when I don't have to leave to make dinner. All done 8/31!!!

We have a fall trip planned to the UP, continuing across the top of the country, then down to AZ, back up to Utah, back down to AZ

Dang, I love this truck. CCLB D F350, and it barely blinks at my 13K+ 5th wheel. Through the mountains or flat lands, nada, it just don't care. Couple of small issues, when not towing and engine brake on, 3-2-1 shift can be very harsh. While on cruise and going uphill, IMHO, it waits too long to down shift. Quick press of accelerator forces a downshift. Adaptive cruise RTFW. How did I ever live without that? Still trying to identify my perceived issue with 7 round, if it's a problem with truck or trailer, or just needs to be broken in. Discovered an interesting issue with sync 4 and how it operates when center stack screen is in camera mode. It wants the phone to handle things like audio commands instead of sync handling it. Trailer camera is awesome. Still need to install TPMS. Still haven't figured out how to make pro trailer backup work, and I was part of the pre launch trial.

This is interesting. The vehicles were certified EPA certified with auto stop start. Wonder how they got around that little tidbit. And, I HATED it on my F150!

We had an emergency stop condition, and my trailer new hydraulic brakes had not been properly bled. It was a sphincter moment for us and the young lady who crossed right in front of us. I would not want to tow without having fully functional trailer brakes. After bleeding the brakes, and hooking up two days later, couldn't get the truck and trailer brakes to "hookup". Finally resorted to forcing the trailer brake pump to spin up by connecting plug pin to 12V, proving it wasn't the trailer. BUT, when I hooked the 7 pin back up again, it was working... sigh. Worst kind of problem, you don't know what was wrong, what fixed it, and it's working again.

My truck was lost with dozens (hundreds) of others at the off loading depot. In desperate need of quality organization! Then why have sales personnel? If a couple of well trained personnel are doing the work for a bunch of incompetent monkeys...

Yes it attaches to the trailer on the pin box

Hooking up this morning, couldn't get brakes to work. I also have an issue where 7 round doesn't seem to plug in properly. Doesn't help I had to bleed trailer brakes, just to add to the diagnosis. It's working now, but I don't know what went wrong or what got fixed.

Trailer yaw sensor comes with pro backup. If you get the trailer camera and TPMS, it all connects to a 12 pin connector
