Same here. On my 2023 Lariat, but I do have the Tow Package.

Is this the feature that was removed from my MY23? It has the "Smart scale/smart hitch" delete on the window sticker.

I DO have the Tow Technology package with Pro TrailerAssist tho. Do I have this?

A year ago, I attended a demonstration in NJ with this feature on a MY23 Platinum Fleet Demo truck from the MoCo, they had hopes that it would be ready to roll out by the end of 2023, IIRC all trucks with the Tow Technology option is eligible for this update via (OTA).

Hey! That's some cool news. I was afraid it would be gate kept behind that messing window sticker item.

This may be one OTA update I'm really looking forward too.

Yes, you have it.
Be aware that it only works on pretty flat ground. A slight incline, and it lets you trudge through the entire setup before failing and tellsyou “sorry”. It did that the first time I tried to use it and I haven’t bothered since. It’s just another Ford party trick. With the zoom on the backup camera, it’s totally unnecessary. I can hitch my trailer way faster manually.

If you have the tow tech package, it will come to our MY22 trucks by the end of the year!!

Purchasing 2022 Lightning Platinum soon. Did this feature ever come across via OTA software update? Thanks!
