Still no conclusion on the headlight issue part of this thread? I’ve got a 21 Raptor (no scales, but does have the 4 corner suspension height sensors) and my auto-leveling headlights function backwards of how they should with respect to the pitch axis. Put weight in the bed and you get the rise from just the pitch change then it adjusts even higher as the computer adjusts the headlights for level. Tested using sandbags in the bed and a floor jack under the hitch to be able to go both directions from neutral while watching the live sensor data from the height sensors and headlight pitch commanded and actual values. Also the lights never reach a limit stop during my tests so they’re not out of travel. Had a tape line on a wall while doing everything on level ground to watch exactly what the lights were doing when adjusting as I thought initially they just weren’t “leveling”. Come to find out that would actually be better because they are “leveling” but in the wrong direction…
Impressive work. Thorough.

I have had my truck into 2 dealers now, they have done all sorts of things but have been unable to rectify the problem. A quick check on recalls now shows this new development however:

Contact your local dealer and schedule a maintenance appointment. To find your local dealer, use the "find a dealer" feature below.


I'm going to piss on Ford now so tune out if you're not into that. I've been waiting over a year for a fix. The whole reason I went with a truck was to pull travel trailer. But it's too limiting to do the extensive trips I had anticipated unable to tow at night safely because of this. I risk a traffic ticket, road rage, and accidents. My trailer sits unused depreciating, the truck was losing a grand per month in value last time I checked. So I'm bailing, going to get out now, but it's going to cost me 10's of thousands and countless hours of research and consternation. FUF.
