 Topic: What is this
Posted: Yesterday at 2:47pm |
 Below the 7 pin trailer light connection on my F150 is this connection in the picture. Anyone know what this is? I thought I would find a 4 pin connection but found this instead.

Thanks I would have never guessed that!! I suppose some type of camera plugs in there for use when backing up trailers? Seems like a lot of unnecessary stuff on vehicles nowadays. Just more trouble down the road.

OK, I got curious and it's still dark and COLD here, seems Ford had another 'better idea' and offers a $1,000 TRAILER TPMS kit. Not to sure why 12 pins are needed

Trailer towing package. A friend put tire pressure monitoring on his big toy hauler when they went south for the winter. Saved him from tearing up the trailer a couple times when he had tires go flat. First tires were factory original and we know they don't last. He did upgrade very soon after.

The Ford F-150 Smart Trailer Tow Connector is an advanced feature that provides real-time diagnostics and alerts for your connected trailer, monitoring brake lights, turn signals, battery health, and more, displayed on the truck's dashboard for better awareness, often bundled with other towing tech like Smart Hitch and Pro Trailer Backup Assist in higher-end packages. It's part of Ford's integrated system to simplify towing by giving drivers instant feedback on trailer function and electrical issues, enhancing safety and convenience.

Unnecessary crap, sales pitch nonsense that costs too much delivers too little and is too model/make specific.

Enhanced convenience sure. It allows someone who can't back s trailer to drive a truck and trailer. Maybe allows your wife or driver to go to the horse show by themselves. But it isn't a convenience when it doesn't work and creates a hassard. Or your wife wants you to fix it. Then it's just an expensive PITA.
