Last year we moved from Tacoma, WA to Cary, NC and used the navigation in my 2014 F250. We were pulling our 42' 5er and decided to visit some of the interesting sights along the way, so it wasn't a straight shot. Several times I ended up on a two lane highway with low bridges and had to route around them. I told my wife then that Ford would set themselves apart from the competition big time if they just added an RV option to the navigation. Seems like it wouldn't be that hard with a sync update and then a map update. As the OP stated its something that I would be willing to pay for. Until that happens I use the Good Sams site check my planned route for possible issues.

Garmin 770 worked perfectly on a 9 week Alaska trip. So easy to set destinations, and add intermediate stops. Bypassed 1 low bridge in a West Texas town. I have traveled these routes before so I know from past experience which routes travel the best and I did not have to adjust any of their routes. Very happy with this unit

This seems like something that this community could get Fords attention on. What companys software is Ford using for Navigation? They cant be writing it themselves.
I posted on Fords FB page but I'm sure theres better ways to get attention on this.
