I'm unsure which states and I couldn't find any info from Ford.
If you have the RVAS (reverse vehicle aid sensors) you don't have the engine idle shutdown feature (this is according to the 2011 order guide and Ford's website for the 2012's).
Why these two things conflict is beyond me.
If you don't have the RVAS, idle your truck and see if it shuts off.
Default with parking brake engaged is 5 minutes.
Default with parking brake released is 15 minutes.
The above has nothing to do with remote start.
EIS only available with the 6.7L (per order guide/online).
This isn't a positive "feature" IMO.

I wanted to bring it up because I've seen confusion in the past related to the two independant systems.
EIS is positive in the sense of cutting down on fuel usage for fleets but I should mention it's not a positive feature for me because I want to decide when to shut off the engine.

I totally agree and I am glad I do not have that on mine.
