Reverse braking assist while towing?

Going back and checking as to why I would have even gotten this and think it was for the auto high beams. But why would this come on when a trailer is hooked up? Don't recall issues with the 2022. Assuming it detect when trailer electrical plug is connected. First time taking the boat to landing, getting fuel, valve stem popped on trailer tire and air started pouring out. Hopped in truck and tried to back it out of the way before the tire went flat, but truck kept stopping itself every few feet.

Also, it just keeps beeping like when you're about to back into something even with the trailer hooked up. Finally found the setting when getting back home in the screen, settings for the truck.

Read some comments about 2 foot driving but don't recall having left foot near the brake. Towing isn't on the shifter button anymore and assumed the truck detected the trailer when the electrical plug was plugged in. Going to try and dig up the info in the manual but no good if that's how it works with a trailer hooked up.

Update: From the manual.
  • Reverse brake assist does not function when you connect a trailer. Operation resumes when you disconnect the trailer.

One would think it's smart enough to turn off when a trailer is connected

I think that you answered your own question:

Reverse braking assist turns off when a trailer is detected. For whatever reason your truck doesn’t know that a trailer is attached to the truck. I would look for a wiring problem with the trailer.
