On my Gen12 I was very happy to switch from the OEM Pirellis to Michelin Defender LTX, very quiet and durable. Only con is they are on-road focused, but if sounds like that could work for you.

I think the start / stop light blinking is an important clue to what might have happened. I have found if I hit the start button without my foot firmly on the brake it goes into that blinking (which is like accessory mode). With it not being really “on” it won’t allow the shift out of park...

I haven’t had this problem, so not speaking from experience. One suggestion not mentioned yet would be to have a good look inside the truck-side 7 / 4 pin connector. If there is debris or water in there, it might be creating a path between two of the terminals. I could see that being a...

In my case, the trailer end of the plug was the kind with the two blades for each pin. It never really felt like it was fully seated and had the sporadic 'no trailer' issues. (example...

Finally got around to installing the one with the remote control today. Smooth install and great instructions, the hardest part was figuring out where the speaker was hiding. Works great, looking forward to the silence when reversing with the trailer! One area I diverged from the instructions...

Yes I often get this. I think it has to do with the software for Ford’s official VCM hardware. I followed the link and updated the VCI software anyway just to be on the safe side.

I added the trailer camera to my 2021 F150 KR Job 1. I concur, the trailer camera is only available full screen. Available at speed or while stopped through cameras selection menu. The one exception is with pro trailer back-up you can see the trailer camera and side view cameras all together...

Ordered the remote control edition. I went with Default Speaker On….my goal is to have OEM most of the time, but be able to turn off the noise while backing in at the campground.

Yes, you have that correct. In the first photo, the connector on the right connects to the 12 pin, but it only has two wires. So you could do the pro-trailer backup yaw only. Unfortunately, you would need to change the truck bumper harness to do TPMS or camera with the 12 pin. There are...

When I ordered the trailer TMPS and Camera kit (for a Super Duty), it came with a new 7 + 12 Pin connector for the truck side. From what I read for the Super Duty, you toss out the 7 + 4 pin and replace it with the new 7 + 12 from the kit, which uses an extra connector already on the truck...

Sorry for the delay responding. Here is a picture of the end of the axle tube (also please excuse the "rust package"). Yes, the axle end is flared out and has some cast-in features.

Thank you for posting this! I always figured the payload loss from MaxTow people like to quote had to be from more hardware than an inch on the rotors. I had a quick look at my 2021 Job 1 PowerBoost with MaxTow and it has the bolts on the axle ends. (Easy because with winter steels the hub is...

I agree, looks to me like what is available in FDRS today are the modules that updated with 2.5.1. I'm thinking of ignoring the DTC in the IMPA that cropped up - it relates to network communication with the GWM....and knowing a GWM update (should) show up in FDRS later.

As promised, a bit more on my experience. This post is all about my specific truck (2021 King Ranch 601 Power Boost, Max Tow, 360 Camera, Blue Cruise Prep, built in Feb 2021, OTA update 2.3.0). For pro-trailer back-up, it came only with the yaw sensor (no stickers). When I ordered the truck, I...

Hi all. Huge thanks to GChurch for your contributions. I got my harness today and wanted to give a quick update. I will try to get some pics and a bit more comprehensive comments later in the week. Overall quite straightforward following GChurch’s steps. It is very handy to have the new...

I ordered the bumper harness mentioned in this thread and it is finally on the way to me. So I will let you all know how it works on a Job 1 King Ranch PowerBoost later. Maybe we need a thread for harness orders…..mine would be: placed 2/12/2022, notified of back order 2/14/2022, shipped...

I had the same problem this past weekend. 2021 KR Hybrid, Rockwood MiniLite trailer. Lights were working fine, trailer brakes nonfunctional with a “no-trailer” message on testing the trailer brakes. I was leaving a campground, stuck in the mountains 3 hrs from home. I managed to get it...

For payload maximization, you might want to consider dropping the power tailgate. I’ve never seen a weight number for it, but it seems to be one of the heaviest options. I would have dropped it if I could, but in Canada, KR requires 601A, which includes the power tailgate.

Just looking at the picture, the ground pin does look corroded (the pin with the green and white stuff at the top left). You could try cleaning it up with a brush and/or some electrical contact cleaner. If that helps some dielectric grease on all the pins would prevent the corrosion from...

Seems like they do move eventually, mine finally shipped after 25 days awaiting shipment: Receipt Date 2020-09-29 ETA End Date 2021-03-19 Production Date 2021-02-16 Ship Date 2021-03-13
