LED Tailgate Light Strips

Any issues installing LED Tailgate Light Strips on a 2021 XLT? My particular truck has BLIS and 360 Copilot Asist 2.0 I think. Largely asking because I thought I saw some where that either the 15+ or 21+ trucks may have issues where the truck thinks it is towing because of the light strip being plugged a trailer light adapter. Also, any recommendations would be great, a cheap flexible one from Ambrothers/Amazon has served well for years on my 92 though I would want a non-flexible light strip.

I have a 2018 F350 I hooked up a LED light strip under tailgate. I don't have LED lights on truck, but...
I bought a kit that plugged into harness that gave me an extra 4 pin connector for LED strip (lights, directionals, brakes), but I had the problem it always thought a trailer was connected and I couldn't get rid of it. I removed harness kit and wired a 4pin trailer connector into corresponding lights. Plugged LED light strip into that and it works fine.
