I started the thread long ago (2021 F150 Plat) - and have had the part LC3Z1A189D (camera and TPMS). Find it really good to confirm that I have the right part. Really good to see that it has been successfully installed. Installation, however, is not within the range of my capabilities, so I am...

I am wondering if anyone has succeeded in using the backup assist for 5-th wheel trailers. The information has been a bit unclear whether the fifth wheel trailers are covered by this system.

I have a 21 ft. camper and a 2021 F150 (with max tow, etc.). I bought the trailer TPMS and camera (OEM) parts through the Ford dealer. Now, when it comes to installation, they say that they do not work on the trailers - so refuse an appointment for installing it. I am not handy enough to do...

Is there any information on backup assist for fifth wheel trailers with 2021 F150? I was under the impression that it had been added to the 2021 functionality list. But, I am not getting anywhere with it. The dealer says Ford does not support it.

Thank you so so much! Very helpful.

I am completely new to towing. Will be pulling a 21' fifth wheel camper on Monday. I know where the Trailer Brake Controller is and how to adjust the value.... But, I am not sure how to determine what value I need to set. Can anyone share a link or other helpful insight... I understand that...

I would like to report a successful installation of B&W rails in my 2021 F150 Powerboost (platinum). I owe a lot of gratitude to B&W for facilitating it. So, I will share some detail on my wonderful experience with them. I have been in touch with B&W since last year. The person I have been...

@weidmanrandy - I already have the Andersen Ultimate. So, my issue is the rail kit. I am in Utah, so too far from Ohio. But, I will look into the part you mentioned.

Thank you! Do you have the details of the part to order? I am in a bad place. I was looking for the rail kit from B&W - and there is no date on that. I need to install before May 21st - so might need to sell my Andersen Ultimate for rails and buy Andersen Ultimate for gooseneck instead. In...

Thank you very much! I will see if I can add an non-Ford camera to the camper. I was hoping to avoid it but prefer to have the visibility option for lane changes if the traffic is high...

I am thinking about these lines but need to decide soon… It is very important to be able to use the trailer camera when moving forward, for changing lanes, etc. Do we know that Ford aux camera will not let you do that?

@weidmanrandy - Any update on it? I am waiting for B&W news but they have gone quiet...

We have a large collection of CDs that we’d love to play in the truck. Can I just transfer them to a good quality USB and play them in the truck from it? I have been trying to get them onto my iPhone but Apple would rather sell them to you...

Very good. I had them installed but have yet to pick up my truck from my (remote) dealer.

I am not an expert but it seems to me that the answer depends upon the weight distribution. If it is front heavy - then not. If, for some reason, rear is loaded - you will have an issue...

Thank you so much! That makes it much better...

One omission I made in my order (2021 F150 Platinum) that I regretted is not ordering the wheel well liners. So, now that it has been received - I am adding the Ford wheel well liners. I understand from the dealer that they are for the rear wheel well only. There do not seem to be any (Ford...

That’s A couple of things: You need to count the weight of the driver and other occupants. So, if it is 4 passengers, you need to add the driver weight. Let’s say that’s what you mean. The cargo weight in the truck (400#) is a number you might be able to manage down. You can put the cargo in...

@Knickell - Where do you get this one? I like simple and something that fits in.

Do let me know if you succeed with it. My truck is still 5 weeks away at a minimum. So, I will be trying to get it done 6-9 weeks out from now. My first choice would be B&W - as they have been very responsive to me and I know that they are making modifications to the parts make this work. My...
