Curious why some do not use 1 pedal driving.

I also invested in two devices, IIRC, that other forum members suggested in previous posts, both of which are available on Amazon: sonar distance sensors and heavy rubber curb stops. I have a little more room to spare, about 8 to 10 inches, but I try to allow 2 to 3 inches for my rear bumper and tailgate to clear the garage door, and still maintain at least 5 to 6 inches clearance from the front wall (which you call the back wall). The hardest part is keeping the sonar sensors taped to the front wall without permanently gluing or screwing them in place. I haven't found a painter's tape yet that won't slowly peel off in summer heat and humidity.

You'd have the problem backing in of where to put the LED distance display for the sonar sensors so that you could see it. Your tailgate camera would be so close to the wall that I'm not sure that the camera could read the LED display. Maybe the camera on the back of the cab that looks back over the bed could see the distance display mounted high on the wall - or maybe driving straight in rather than backing in would work? Your rear-view mirror, when looking through the rear window, would reverse the display numbers from left to right (a mirror image).
I need to stop once the hitch/shackle (in the camera view) changes from covering the ground to covering the wall.

I tried 2pd today, after reading all of this, and I need to try again. Does it creep while the brakes is still applied? My old diesel did that, and the amount of precision was fantastic. It felt a little rough today with 2pd. Will try again tomorrow.

But then get a a major fail for the simple task of keeping it in the mode I want, sports mode. (Sorry Ford I'm going to bash you on that every time I can until you fix it).
Unfortunately you will have to bash them forever because it is not going to change. There was actually an OTA that fixed this, and then they were forced to reverse it via an actual (I believe NHTSA) recall.

This would pretty much mean that sport mode changes the ESC mapping. I guess maybe to something less aggressive? I wonder what all the changes are. Couldn't they add a 'Default' toggle on the mode screen and become compliant?

I know the story inside and out. NHTSA forced them to reverse the OTA because of off road mode. Sports mode is a perfectly legal and safe mode to drive in should an unsuspecting driver get into the vehicle. If sports mode was the default method, and called normal instead, there would be no issue. Ford was/is lazy and decided to default all modes to normal instead of isolating the issue which is only off-road mode. In fact defaulting tow-mode back to normal when the truck knows a trailer is still attached, too me is even worse than the original problem the NHTSA was bickering about in the first place.
