How can I tell when my 2022 F250 is going into or is in DPF Regen?!? I’ve got 10885 miles and have NO clue if or when my truck went into regen!
I’ll try again to change my settings with FORscan. I didn’t have any luck the first time…
Thanks in advance for answering a question that I’m sure has been asked/answered before. I obviously didn’t have the correct search terms…

I did set one up, but it’s not set up for the trailer backup assist piece. It asked for a sticker to placed on the trailer, but I don’t know what stickers it talked about.

The GVWR is dictated by registration purposes. This is why many northern states have the " payload downgrade " package in which you can get an F350 with a 10k GVWR. This is just for regitration! If you stay within the RAWR or RAGVWR then you will be fine! Ensure that the tires you have can support the weight though!
Great info! Thanks!

I’m scratching my head over this one. I’m hoping someone has a fix or at least a valuable explanation.
I was pulling my small trailer and wanted to make sure things were ok back there. I clicked on my rear camera view and got the following view. I could NOT figure out how to remove that stupid banner from the screen!
Someone please tell me there’s a way to get it to disappear. I really want to be wrong on this one.

All of your points and info is what I’ve been considering. I’ve been looking for another 5th wheel that fits closer into the weight limits. With that said, I know there’s a safety factor built into all ratings, so if I’m 10% or so over the limit, I can live with that. I can also load my contents to help balance the load. I appreciate your input. It helps.

May I suggest taking your truck to the scales without any trailer, but with full fuel and pax. You will receive a total weight and weight on each axle. Based on the sticker on the door frame, which has the max load on each axle, GVWR and payload, compare the numbers you received from the scales.
You will know the actual weight (payload) you can add to your truck to stay within the GVWR. Based on a pin weight of 2,709 lbs you will probably exceed this by over 200 lbs.
Compare the max rear axle rating and the actual rear axle load from the scales, as this is the maximum load you can add to the rear axle. As a 5th wheel hitch is over the rear axle, the pin weight goes onto the rear axle. I expect you will probably exceed this by a few hundred pounds.
Note - is the hitch weight (pin weight) the 5th wheel's OEM posted weight, as new, or an actual pin weight once loaded. You can increase/decrease the pin weight by loading, as you will most likely add 2,000 + lbs of personal effects. When loaded fwd of the axles the pin weight increases, when loaded aft of the axles the pin weight is reduced. You also need to consider the location of your tanks, unless you will only travel with empty tanks. On our 5th wheel, filling the FW tank adds 800 lbs to the pin weight.
I started pulling our 41' 5th wheel with a F-350 SRW. I had to limit the trailer's weight to 15,500 lbs and the pin weight to 3,050 lbs, to remain legal. I'll suggest you probably require a F-350 for that 5th wheel and to remain legal. Now with a F-450, I can load to 16,500 lbs and can have the pin weight up to 4,500 lbs.
Many post they routinely tow above the truck's rating, and have no issues. However, if we are over the limits, our insurance is voided and the local commercial inspectors can pull us over and use their portable scales. While the probability is low, the possibility is always there.
You’ve summed up the info I’ve been gathering from many people (not RV dealers lol).
I have weighed my truck, and because of the additions I’ve made, it has gained about 500 lbs…which really cripples pin weight capability. That includes my wife and I, but not my fifth wheel hitch. I’m pushing about 2000 lbs now.
If we weren’t looking for a full time rig, it would be easier to find something within those limits. The tough pill to swallow is the fact that there are a couple rigs that are just beyond the legal limit on cargo but not over limit on GCVWR. I’m trying to get an idea what, if any, leeway there is on cargo capacity.
it sounds like a ton of people are in the same boat.You did say something I hadn’t confirmed…which is where you load your weight and how it affects pin weight. I’ve asked, but nobody commits to an answer. ?
Thanks!

I need help understanding why my 22 SD has a payload capacity of 2543 but the Rear Axle Weight rating is 6340. I’m looking at a 5th wheel with a hitch weight of 2709, but the I’ll be within the GCVWR of 23500.
What is the consequence of going over my payload cap, and are there any other things I should be aware of and approach with caution?
2022 F250 w/o upgraded towing package

Before swapping to my 60 gallon S&B tank last weekend, I calculated 16.8 mpg when the truck showed 17.7 with mostly city / rural type driving. My other tank was all freeway and I calculated 17.9 when the truck showed 18.4.
I don’t think it’s worth adjusting the truck’s calculation for less than one mile per gallon.
I’ve got my Banks Pedal Monster and will start using it more often. I love that thing!! I just didn’t want to use it while I was calculating mpg.

You can just flip your camera to forward when pulling up close to stuff…works very much like backup camera.
That’s exactly what I’ve been doing. It does work well. I just wanted to make sure the sensors weren’t left off.

I have 1 1/2” springs to install once it stops raining around here…
Im scheduled to have window tint done, bed liner sprayed
Ive ordered my S&B 60 gallon fuel tank
im still deciding on whether or not I will replace my tires now or wait until I upgrade to a 4” lift once these Michelins need replaced.still have Ranch Hand bumpers, bed cover and other little things to do.

I thought I had a good grasp of the features on my truck, but one thing slipped by me..
Is anyone else surprised there are no parking aid sensors in the front of the truck? I thought they were in both the front and rear bumpers.
it’s not a big deal since I can just use my camera, but it’s just one of things that I didn’t know about my truck. Just wondering if I’m alone.

My truck is 4 days old and I got rear-ended. At least it looks like just the bumper with a deep scratch where the right side of the bumper was pushed forward into the rear quarter panel. Tailgate looks ok.
I’ll take it to the dealer for an estimate Monday. Tomball Ford doesn’t have collision repair.
Has anyone in Houston used a Ford collision center that you can either refer to me or steer me away from?

yeah mine hit Westfield on Jan 18. Last message from my sales guy was they'd have it tomorrow the 26th. The Ford tracker says Estimated Delivery 01/21/2023 - 02/03/2023. She's paid for and I've already bought her some jewelry. Just need to take her for some new shoes and tint on her glasses.
For what it's worth, the details are here:

Awesome! FYI…I actually knew the truck was on its way to the dealer before the dealer knew, and before it hit their lot!
Keep checking your Ford update site. It will change from “Shipped” to Dealer Preparing your vehicle. Mine updated overnight but the truck showed up about 2:00pm.
Maybe that’ll be the case with you too!

would you mind offering who your dealer is/was? my truck's dates pretty well mirror your, including shipping, last known location was the Westfield yard, destination Mac Haik Ford
FYI, there were three of us on this string that are from the Houston area whose trucks got to the Westfield lot within a few days of each other. Looks like the time at the lot, before delivery to the dealer has been between 10-18 days. That gives you a small window in delivery expectations.
Mine hit Westfield Jan 11 and was delivered the 23rd, and I picked it up yesterday, the 24th.

My truck is finally at the dealer! I pick it up tomorrow afternoon! I’ll send pics when I get the chance.

No one can explain why it's taken so long, nor can tell me where the truck actually is. All I know is that it's built and clean, released from the factory. Have the screenshot from an insider at the plant showing so. Found out today it was pushed out again. Currently in my delivery week. My luck it will be the very last 2022 model to leave the Speedway and ship. I'll have my 2023 by then probably.
I can imagine you’ve been through the cycles of frustration, fury, grief…then repeat. It’s just unbelievably mind-boggling.

Dealer has provided buyers order, X-Plan, Price Protection and everything as originally agreed upon awaiting truck to arrive. Hopefully it will arrive any day.
There are a few of us in the same situation, with our truck in the same lot off Hardy Roll Rd. Good luck to you guys. When your truck gets delivered, please post it. Maybe that’ll indicated the rest of us are close. Lol.
2022 F250 DPF Regen Question
in F-Series SuperDuty Forum
Posted
That’s my experience as well. The issue is that I have no idea when it is in that cycle, so consequently I have no indication whether or not to continue driving to let it complete that cycle. In city driving, I do not always travel longer distance/time that would allow a full regen, therefore my DPF will continue building layers of “soot” and I’ll lose efficiency and eventually lose capacity. I don’t want to be forced to take my truck to the dealer to have it cleaned.
I'm glad I’m not the only one who has not seen any indication. I thought I was just missing something.
