RSS - Off With Trailer Connected?

It would seem to make sense that the RSS would disable itself when you have a trailer connected, but mine doesn't and I'm growing VERY tired of reaching down to punch the dash button whenever I back up with a trailer on... Can anyone confirm if a 2003 F-250 is wired "smart" enough to automatically disable the RSS when a trailer harness is plugged in? Alternatively, does anyone with some electrical savvy know how to make that happen if FoMoCo didn't?

Well, they didn't do it on my 2008, so I'm pretty sure they didn't in 2003. I don't have it on my 2011 (and I sure miss it), so I couldn't say on this generation.
