Thank you so much! I will need to look at our truck when we are hooked in to understand the clearances. Since the camper can come close to the cab during the turns, I mainly need the rack to be lower than that (as it is above the edge of the bed). The middle (where the box is) can be as high as...

Thank you for the quick response! What is the width of the rack? Could it be lower in height and closer to the cab? Also, how does the rack attach itself to the truck rails? I have a soft OEM tonneau (tri-fold) but the rack could be all underneath the first (closest to the cab) fold. PS: Also...

@turbopilot - What you have is fantastic! If I had your skillset (but don't) or had access to someone who did, I'd pay them to install it on my F150 (PowerBoost). I like your first installation the most as it suites my situation the best. My setup is slightly different: (1) I don't have the...

I started the thread long ago (2021 F150 Plat) - and have had the part LC3Z1A189D (camera and TPMS). Find it really good to confirm that I have the right part. Really good to see that it has been successfully installed. Installation, however, is not within the range of my capabilities, so I am...

I am wondering if anyone has succeeded in using the backup assist for 5-th wheel trailers. The information has been a bit unclear whether the fifth wheel trailers are covered by this system.

I have a 21 ft. camper and a 2021 F150 (with max tow, etc.). I bought the trailer TPMS and camera (OEM) parts through the Ford dealer. Now, when it comes to installation, they say that they do not work on the trailers - so refuse an appointment for installing it. I am not handy enough to do...

Is there any information on backup assist for fifth wheel trailers with 2021 F150? I was under the impression that it had been added to the 2021 functionality list. But, I am not getting anywhere with it. The dealer says Ford does not support it.

Thank you so so much! Very helpful.

I am completely new to towing. Will be pulling a 21' fifth wheel camper on Monday. I know where the Trailer Brake Controller is and how to adjust the value.... But, I am not sure how to determine what value I need to set. Can anyone share a link or other helpful insight... I understand that...

I would like to report a successful installation of B&W rails in my 2021 F150 Powerboost (platinum). I owe a lot of gratitude to B&W for facilitating it. So, I will share some detail on my wonderful experience with them. I have been in touch with B&W since last year. The person I have been...

I have tow mirrors and love them. I am still not used to BLIS, and might never. The reason is that when I look at the mirrors, I want to see what’s there (and can see blind spot with tow mirrors). So, I haven’t been able to train myself to use the tiny indicator. I would use it if the indicator...

@weidmanrandy - I already have the Andersen Ultimate. So, my issue is the rail kit. I am in Utah, so too far from Ohio. But, I will look into the part you mentioned.

Thank you! Do you have the details of the part to order? I am in a bad place. I was looking for the rail kit from B&W - and there is no date on that. I need to install before May 21st - so might need to sell my Andersen Ultimate for rails and buy Andersen Ultimate for gooseneck instead. In...

Thank you very much! I will see if I can add an non-Ford camera to the camper. I was hoping to avoid it but prefer to have the visibility option for lane changes if the traffic is high...

I am thinking about these lines but need to decide soon… It is very important to be able to use the trailer camera when moving forward, for changing lanes, etc. Do we know that Ford aux camera will not let you do that?

Will this be made available in the existing 2021 F150s? The news release from Ford is given below: https://media.ford.com/content/fordmedia/fna/us/en/news/2021/04/28/f-150-adds-class-exclusive-tech-with-onboard-scales-to-simplify-.html

@weidmanrandy - Any update on it? I am waiting for B&W news but they have gone quiet...

I ended up buying from Andersen and Koch. [ @currybob - Thanks for the links on post #1]. I bought both ESP and plans - PremiumCare ESP for $2055 (Flood was $100 more and Zeigler was $200 more I also bought the Premium maintenance plan from them. It's 20 visits in 8 years/100K miles for $2095...

May I ask a dumb question - a number of people talk about Normal and Eco mode. How does one select the Eco mode? I got 21 mpg over a 1200 miles trip (with some amount of mountain driving), but I did not select any mode etc. I looked but I got something showing eco behavior, etc. but nothing that...

I am returning to this thread to express my appreciation for Albert and Granger Ford. When I started on this board, I knew little about F150s and was mortified with the prospect of negotiating price with the dealers, particularly for a custom build. First, Albert gave some really good advice...
