No more Lane Centering while trailering?

Since I bought my truck I the summer of 2022, it has always had true BlueCruise (Hands-free) but when trailering was limited to Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering (ACC/LF, formerly called BLueCruise Hands-on).

At some point an update seemed to have killed that feature. For all of the trip we are currently on, the Lightning has no lane centering while towing.

No Blue Bubble of Happiness, no matter if we are on a two-lane, four-lane, divided, highway, or any other road. It doesn't matter if we are in Normal or Tow/Haul mode.

Has anyone else encountered this problem?


BlueCruise (Hands-free) still works fine whenever we drop the trailer.

My last two were the frunk update and the dealer-installed sensor update.

Bummer. Driving this whole Canada trip without lane centering has been a drag. Now that I don't have it I really miss it.

23 Lariat, max tow, delivered January 2023, Canada.

Never had lane centering while trailering.

Lane keeping assist was always available.


Maybe you need to configure a trailer?
I configured this trailer over 3 years ago.

On a recent trip from Georgia to Texas I pulled a U-haul trailer and found I lost all those features. It was a long slog without them for sure. So much so I told the wife on our last trip from Georgia I was not taking a trailer. i filled every square inch of space in the back seat area and loaded the bed up to the truck roof height, so avoided the dreaded U-haul this time.
