Clifford the Big Red Truck, an F150 Story

[Jake]

Damn I want a new truck now   Fancy backing up toys, fancy "it tells you when the trailer is plugged up", fancy it parks itself feature. You know what I got? A tow/haul button.

I mean, my 2011 also knew how to say "Trailer Connected" and "Trailer Disconnected" - it basically does it if the circuit to the brake lights is completed. It was super helpful to show me that the wiring on the old trailer was going bad - the dash got stuck in a loop of Connected/Disconnected, so I knew something was wrong.

The 2018 has another feature on the dash screen to show if all of the trailer lights are functional, I guess to let you know if a bulb is out. Need to read up on how it alerts you though. 

I still have the Tow/Haul selection for shift points and engine braking, which seems to operate the same as the 2011 did. It's now part of a "Drive Mode" selection which also includes Eco and Sport, of which this truck is neither.
