Will the new Super Duty SYNC 3 System come ready with Apple Car Play?

If the seats have a cooling feature, do the seat backs get cold or hot (a pervasive problem in the recent F150 interiors)?

I would love a completely objective comparison with the Duramax in ride and handling quality

Is the brake pedal more firm (more like an F-150) or does it continue to be mushy like the current Super Duty?

On the dual rear wheel models, does the traction control continue to be only throttle based or is it also brake based now?

Have 0-60 times improved with the stronger motors?

x2 on 0-60 times for gas/diesel.

I'm also interested in the 2-lane road passing scenarios (acceleration 60mph - 80 or 90mph; I assume 90 is top speed).

How is the ride quality compared to the '15 gas/diesel, especially unladen? Can it compete with an F150 Heavy Payload package for ride comfort?

How much of a difference does adaptive steering really make? (I.e., is it worth paying for this option?)

Can the trailer camera input handle more than one camera? I've got 2 on my horse trailer (1 backup view, 1 interior). Would like to be able to use both locations with the Ford system..

What does the new trailer connector look like if you get the TPMS + Camera system... I don't really want to have to convert my trailers back to a crappy traditional RV style connector after having my EZConnector system.

How will an aftermarket grill guard affect the front camera performance?

You remove the 4 pin /7 pin on the truck and replace it with a 12 pin/7 pin.
Now you have two cables between the truck and trailer. The 7 pin RV connector works as before and you have the new 12 pin cable that handles the camera and TPMS data

Sounds like looking for the adapter to 4 pin all the time or rewiring 5 small trailers plus anyone else's I need to tow.

All of the trailers I have had - have a 7 pin connector. And i have a 7 pin to 4-5 way in the tool box.

Thanks.. hopefully EZConnector comes out with a plug-n-play replacement for the 7 pin quickly.
