As hard as it might be, I will keep wife comments out of this.

Well. I have to say that is pretty cool. The "Using..." video showed a feature that overlays exactly where the trailer is vs where it is going. That is pretty nifty. I consider myself a decent backer but this will make me look like a veteran trucker. Kind of excited to try it.

Hopefully you'll make some cool new install videos for us.
I bet and hopefully not the 1st one may be if we are gonna need an aftermarket steering stabilizer on the new trucks or not.

The immediate mods are leveling, tires, airbags and onboard air. Nothing too fancy but I will turn on the recorder when I do them.

I hope not on the stabilizer. That was really my only major beef with the truck. I have to believe that the boxed frame and rumored suspension improvements have solved the dreaded wobble once and for all. One can hope... Plan B is to put Bilsteins on when needed.

MediumDan on here has done all the suspension redesign + on this new boxed frame platform so pick his brain.

I pm'd him. Hopefully he has some advice so we don't end up wobbling again.

I don't pull that many trailers (I own two but pull up to four) but I thought it would have been nifty if Ford has produced unique trailer stickers. That way the truck would recognize which trailer it was working with and automatically set the dashboard to THAT trailer.

That would be cool but is probably pretty difficult to achieve, all things considered. It would be nice to add a setting in the truck that optionally prompts the user to confirm the trailer that is attached. I know I have pulled off with a different trailer than the last one I used only to change it several miles down the road.

Ford F150 Backup Assist Camera Decal/Sticker
Hi,
I wanted to alert members that if they are buying a new Ford F150 with Backup assist to check that the checkmark camera stickers ( I believe it should be 6 total) are in the booklet (backup assist booklet) which should come with the truck. I bought a new 2017 Ford F150 at a dealership in Florida and once at home we could not find a single sticker. The stickers were stolen by somebody in the dealership. I called the dealer and they said they would send me some stickers and never did. I am trying desperately to find anybody who sells these stickers to no avail. Not on the Ford website neither. Not on Amazon and n ebay they are out of stock. I tried to make a sticker myself but although the camera seems to find that there is a sticker it does not work at all - I believe that there is more to the sticker than just black and white like a copper imprint or security imprint only for the electronic system to see but I am not sure. I did not have the completely right dimensions of the sticker - though I think it was close enough and it still did not work. So what can I do now? This is crazy! Ford does not sell these stickers and if they do I cannot find where. Can anybody help me?
