Copilot 360 and trailer towing

[newdeal99]

I sure wouldn't trust any of the auto-drive features to work properly when towing a 7500lb trailer except for regular cruise control

We also have the R6 for our TT. Looking forward to testing it when the truck arrives next month.

If I am reading this right the Powerboost is rated at around 2100lbs max payload. I can't see where I am over 1500lbs payload. Is this correct?

You are trying to use best case and not actual numbers. My plat payload is 1380 using the sticker on the door. Also do not use the RV rated GW or Hitch weight as they won't be even close to your actual numbers. My RV is rated 7400 LBs with a hitch of 641. My actual wight with no water in tanks and very little in the RV is 6400 with a hitch of 831.

You are correct mine with crew cab 6.5 bed comes in at 1344lbs. I will have to get an accurate tongue weight, dry the specs are 720lbs but with two propane tanks I rounded up to 800lbs. I always tow dry but if I did add water the tank is behind the wheels. It is close so will try and get that good read on the tongue weight. Thanks for pointing that out.

There's other accounts of lane centering causing trailer sway, it's thought to be something like pilot induced oscillation where the natural frequency of the truck/trailer combo isn't compatible with the micro adjustments that lane centering constantly makes. So the swaying that normally dampens itself out, instead is amplified.

While some have used lane centering and a trailer, it is stated in the manual not to use lane centering while towing. Which sucks, since the main reason I optioned lane centering was for towing.

I wouldn't be surprised if an OTA update is made that would disable lane centering when the trailer plug is being used.

My TV is a 2021 F150 King Ranch with max tow package. Pulls our 23FB Flying Cloud Airstream like a dream. No sway and perfect. When I enable adaptive cruise control it starts a sway that gets very scary very fast. I’ve seen other posts regarding this problem. I’d like to be able to use the cruise control but can’t because of the sway problem. I would like at least to be able to use adaptive cruise control without lane centering but haven’t been able to figure out to eliminate lane centering.

There is a button on the left side of steering wheel, bottom right I think, that will turn off lane centering.
