I just completed a 1000 mile trip pulling my travel trailer. Every time I activated the adaptive cruise control lane centering would also turn on and I would have to turn it off with the steering wheel button. Very annoying. According to page 322/323 of the 2021 owners manual, you are suppose...
It’s going to take more hardware than the APA chip to make pro trailer hitch assist work. At the least there is going to be some number of cameras and sensors needed. For example, I have 4 sensors in my bumpers. I have the APA chip yet it doesn’t work. Is it written for those trucks with the 6...
I don’t have the tow technology package but I do have everything included in it (360 camera, etc).
It looks like a Ford engineer has been doing demos of pro trailer hitch assist at the New York auto show. She said it is available now on the 23s and will be available on pro trailer backup...
I think it has to do with the parking sensors in the bumper. I made the forscan changes and the hitch assist works up to the point the truck takes over to back up. It errors out
i have a 21 with co pilot assist 2.0 so I have 4 parking sensors front and rear bumpers. I think with active park...
I already had co-pilot assist 2.0 and the 360 cameras. I think the cameras are required to see the trailer coupler and the co pilot assist 2.0 is probably what gives you the 4 front and 4 back parking sensors. So I need to add the additional 2 front and 2 back corner sensors.
Dynamic hitch assist is the black line that moves as you back up. Anyone know if that can be calibrated? Mine is a little off.
I have a 21 302a and made the Forscan changes to enable pro trailer hitch assist. It works up to the point that the truck takes over the actual backing up, then it...
Has anyone been successful in retrofitting a 2021 Job 1 XLT with pro trailer hitch assist?
I have a 302a with co pilot assist 2.0 so I have the 4 parking sensors front and back. i also already have pro trailer back up assist.
I have an early 2021 IPMA so I should be ok there with the needed...

I have a job 1 truck and just completed a FDRS update. I was surprised that I only had an APIM ,TCU and BCM. Thanks
I am updating my truck with FDRS and have a BCM update to be loaded. At one time there was a concern with the BCM update on FDRS removing a needed fix. Anyone know if this is still the case or is this download now good? Thanks
I visited my ford dealer parts department and this is the printout they gave listing the IPMAs for the 2021s.
All the IPMAs have a part number of ML-14G647 but then a different letter at the end. They differences I see are either Kansas City or Dearborn builds, less assist package or pro...
sigh, what is it with these people? How difficult is it to hook it up to FDRS and take a look. They told me they would, I take the truck and leave it with them for a day and then nothing. If they didn’t want to do it just tell me up front.
thanks for checking. I’m on your mongoose borrow...
I have a job 1 XLT 302A. I got 3.5.2 back in October. My dealer offered to download 3.5.3 for me because he saw it had been trying to download since Jan with no success. Just got back from picking up my truck. They are saying my truck won’t take 3.5.3 (and Alexa) since I don’t have ENHANCED...
Thats what I‘m thinking. The chip isn’t only for active park assist but any function that requires automatically maneuvering the truck, like pro trailer hitch assist. if so the question becomes do all 2021 IPMAs have the chip? You would think it would be more efficient for Ford to have one...
I tried both 4 and 5. Neither made a difference. We are so close. With the Forscan changes the Pro Trailer hitch assist option comes up when pressing the button. Select that option and the white circle comes up, back up to the coupler and the circle turns green the instructions say go to...
Trying to figure out this trailer hitching assistance issue... I have a 2021 Job 1 XLT 302A. My window sticker lists "Dynamic Hitch Assist". I'm learning that that means just the black lines when backing up. The 2021 owners manual talks about "trailer hitching assistance" that automatically...
I have a Job 1 2021 that has Dynamic Hitch Assist listed on my window sticker but I don’t have Active Park Assist. I made the Forscan changes and the option is now available and my truck sees the trailer coupler and places the green circle properly. However when I put the transmission in...
I have a job 1 XLT 302A. My window sticker lists “Dynamic Hitch Assist” under standard equipment / functional. I do not have Active Park assist listed or deleted. Pages 439 - 441 of the 2021 manual describes this function as “Trailer Hitching Assistance”. I’m hoping the Dynamic Hitch Assist...
