Is the 12 pin plug a option? It’s the first time I have heard of a camera option for a trailer.

The tow tech from the Super Duty was waterfalled into the F150 for this gen, which is pretty awesome. Here is a dude showing the full kit that comes with the TPMS (tire pressure monitor system) and trailer camera. Both use that round 12 pin connector, and you lose the 4-pin connector. He shows a 7 to 4 pin adapter as well.

I didn't see a 12-pin connector listed in the brochure. Is it tied into a particular package?

I was surprised by that too. With so many guys bemoaning the payload capacities of these things, as soon as I saw the Moonroof in the video I expected it to be atrocious. 1546# is pretty good with the roof!
The powerboost is looking to be just under a 200 pound payload penalty. That truck would of been ~1715 without the PB. With 13 percent tongue weight that is the difference in a 6000 GVWR trailer and a 7500 pounds GVWR trailer. That is a lot to give up for the PB in my opinion.

You do know that highway mpg is determined at 55 mph? The guy that posted about his first 1500 posted that he got it to 24.3 mpg. Funny, he had to drive for mileage and not 80 mph to get it.

P.S. I get over the rated mpg's in my 2018 Lariat 2.7 because I know how to drive for mileage.

?.......I think someone needs to stop and get some gas.
Might I suggest 93 octane Shell V Power.

The new F150 dash is sweet and I really like that green.

To be fair, anyone requiring more than 1500# of payload is most likely going to have a trailer. For example, I loaded up my XLT last summer with 1500# of SOD in the bed and another 3000# in a trailer.
