They did not explicitly say it was ready - they said they require a week advance notice on recall service and I'm assuming that is to see what it involves on their end. I'll call the day before to confirm it's going to happen, but I'm optimistic since it's software?

Will do. After previous experiences, will definitely be squeezing the brake controller randomly during the trip to see if it's still connected.

thanks for the heads up on the recall notice - got an appointment for next week. a few days later going on a 1000+ mile roadtrip with Airstream, will report back if I have any issues after the trip...

This is a useful bit that I was not aware of before, re: LED halo. thanks! Interesting (and informed) post, curious if you think having the truck already booted up and then plugging the 7-pin and selecting trailer is going to lower the chances of this happening?

I use the F-150 to tow and I think this happened to me recently. Hitched up, turned the car off, but the scale mode was at zero even with the full trailer weight. So I don't think I hit the "reset to zero" button but I was very confused why one was showing nearly full payload and the other zero...

When starting up at a campground this week, we experienced it again, briefly. (All lights working, trailer brakes "no trailer" when squeezing brake controller). Turned off F-150, removed 7-pin, cleaned a bit and applied conductive grease, firmly inserted and it worked again. In this case we had...

Bumping this thread a bit - I'm curious if anyone on here has found mirrors in this style that are single lens (many seem to be dual), but where the only lens is the convex / wide-angle instead of standard. And second question, does anyone here use the strap around the door style of mirrors...

I've found the interface on the scales feature to be really confusing on both screens, probably because they are avoiding specifics. on the top screen, the 4 sections on the green bar add up to 1600, so you are under 800. The bottom screen, I think it's suggesting it's 775, but give or take...

tailgate / hitch cam seems to get dirty and blurry easily / quickly. Car wash doesn't fix it, find it helps to do windex paper towel. The bed cam on the other hand always seems lower quality, 1987 VHS vibe, almost as if because it's aimed at an all black surface it's distorting?

Here’s an update on my F-150 trailer brakes. I took the F-150 to the Ford dealer and explained the behavior I’ve outlined in previous posts. They did an update, here’s what it said on the service invoice: “Ran Oasis Found TSB 21-2179 Performed TSB Updated IPC/TRM” I don’t know what those things...

We gave feedback to the dealer who sold us the car a few days after it happened. They didn't reply with even a "we're sorry" and had no follow up from Ford. I'm taking my F-150 into (another) dealer tomorrow to check it out. We'll be heading out next week with the trailer after the service.

Certain live stuff sounds really excellent and other sounds muddy. More recent music has probably been mixed for surround vs just stereo. I've been traveling around with both back seats up and that makes a difference in sound (subwoofer exposed?). For acoustic jazz or "several people in a...

OK, reading your last two posts - you do think there exists an incompatibility between some 7-pin connectors and the Ford and it's worth swapping it out? Even after you swapped yours out, that has not solved a Ford software / electrical issue, as evidenced by the rebooting fixing it (sometimes)?

What do you mean by adding ground pins? Another odd thing about the design of these connectors is looking at the close up of my photo it seems like the blades at 11 oclock (running lights) and 5 o'clock (brake connection) are slightly wider than the rest. This seems to be a straightforward...

I cross posted about this issue on the airforums airstream board, and there's people that think it's the AS pigtail connector, not the Ford. Advice ranges from you need to use conductive or dielectric grease on the connector (looking for some certain advice as to which), to you should replace...

Wondering with this fix, when you would look at the SeaLevel monitor or solar panel, what volts did it say the batteries were at? Was it obvious the batteries weren't holding a charge or did they need to be tested with a battery tester?

Yeah, good point. Should I do this? btw, as with the OP on the thread, this was towing a 2020 Airstream (which had no issue towing with another vehicle).

Had an experience this past week (first towing with the new f150 PB) similar to many on the thread. Thanks to everyone who has shared on this thread - it’s very helpful when you are sitting there wondering WTF whether or not it’s just you having this issue. Leaving on a week-long trip: Got to...

Towing a trailer is a main reason I got the truck, and it has the great rear hitch camera system and large screen. It's confusing as to why this isn't more of a straightforward solution. Apologies for jumping on this thread (there are several) with my ignorance/questions. My understanding from...

Comparing to BMW X1 and Volvos. It's not bad and I'm sure for a truck is excellent, but compared to those cars I hear air /wind noise, the front of the car is less aerodynamic and the windshield is wider.
