Trailer miles driven in the dash computer (Sync3)
I have a camper I tow with my trailer. I was poking around in the Sync3 system and found trailer info and an odometer for how miles I have towed/had the camper hooked up. But it is not right, at least not for the number of miles I have towed. I had 8,100 miles on the truck. The odometer reading said I had towed 6,900 miles. I put 1,200 miles on it breaking it in before I ever hooked the trailer up the first time. So that means I would have had to tow every mile I put on the truck after break-in. But I have driven it a fair bit locally with no trailer and I put 1,900 miles on it going to the OBX and back. So at best, I may have towed for less than 5,000 miles.
But, I have had the truck in tow/haul mode while not actually towing. So it seems it assumes you are towing based on the tow/haul mode and not on actually having a trailer hooked up.
Anyone know for sure how it works?

You can reset any trailer's mileage to zero any time you want.

Just to add, the computer tracking truck and trailer mileage has nothing to do with Sync 3 or 4.
