Trailer disconnect but range wrong

[Nomoregas]

I did a search for this but no luck,

my question is when I connect a trailer and later disconnect it my range is still estimating the trailer connected, why happening and how do I go back to no trailer range?
I did do a drive history reset but still estimating a trailer connected. Ford really? Farely stop driving your Porsche to work everyday, Please!

I believe I read in a previous post somewhere on this forum that once you start driving again it will readjust.

Well I have started the truck on 3 different trips today but all estimating the trailer range which as we all know is like 50 percent, I will see after a 400 km day recharge what the estimate is tomorrow, today I did 400 km in 150 km I think I am on to something!

You will need to go back in to go Towing app and click no trailer attached which is the top line that resets you back to normal driving

And next time switch to No trailer before unplugging the trailer.

Did you set up a trailer profile and use it while towing? If not, you were distorting the range calculations for driving without a trailer.

I haven’t towed for awhile, but it has to do with unplugging while the vehicle is on or off. So try both unplug while it’s on or unplug while it’s off .

I tried plugging in a lightbar to the towing harness and then found out that any load makes the truck think there's a trailer and disable the rear safety sensors. After disconnecting, the above was still required even though I never put the truck in towing mode. I guess it did it automagically. I've only towed once in my life (a small uHaul trailer), so it's still a new world to me and the truck being smarter than me doesn't help.

day 3 and several charges still on trailer mode no matter what I do, truck says there is no trailer attached but range is 50 percent on screen but I am going the proper range, so silly this is

Go and reset EV history if it bothers you.

reset this 2 times so far will try again today

Try deleting all custom trailer profiles, OTA's have been known to compromise older profiles.

Switch to default / generic profile then switch to no trailer setting, hopefully that corrects the persistent trailer recall problem.

Build a fresh profile only when needed next haul event.

I feel like this shouldn't be complicated, I feel your pain. I assume you read m/kwh and see a difference.

so 4th day several more resets, after resets range goes down LOL. go to trailer settings says you do not have a trailer connected, FORD this is brutal, I will try what someone suggested and plug the trailer in and unplug with truck on and see if i can fix it.

I have noticed when first starting truck it says your range has ben adjusted to the trailer connected which is not.

I had the same thing happen to me once. I was trying different things and then pushed the Pro Trailer Backup Assist button.

Edit: I remember a thread from 2023 and posted a little more detail, and others with the issue reported that it worked:

Hail Mary fix.

Press the button for your trailer back up assist.

A message should pop up that it is detecting trailer, although one will not be connected.

Push the button to turn off the back up assist

Then go into your menu and select no active trailer.
