Nav system and trailering

Got our 2022 Lariat with the tow package some two months ago. Have been using it to tow our travel trailer, and it works great. Our 2017 did not have the nav system, so we're enjoying that on the new truck. The voice commands are something the old Garmin dash top unit lacked.

Recently got an e-mail telling me to pay $80 to keep using all the features of the nav system. Didn't know I was using just a trial version, but so be it.

Anyway, to cut to the chase, the e-mail said, in part:"Renew today to continue enjoying our smart in-vehicle navigation experience featuring:
The latest maps — including a trailering feature on select vehicles that suggests the best route based on your towing specifications" etc.

I've not seen anything in the setups of the system to input trailer size or anything to do with what their talking about.

Anyone know what I'm missing? Is my Lariat with the tow package not among the "select vehicles"?

Thanks

So far, the trailer info is only available on the 150. There are several strings describing owners of superduty’s unsuccessful efforts to get them to show up on 22 superduties. Ford has been silent on the issue.

Well, you already named it, that deal about "Select Vehicles", well your truck isn't one of those select vehicles!
It is actually a very very basic nav system, very few features.
I renewed my nav subscription mostly because I hated seeing it on the screen but not working.
