I really like feature that now automatically engages parking brake when the truck is put in park....you have to turn that setting on from the uconnect settings.
Dude, literally, that just happened to me when I left work today!!!I like that feature too when it works. I tried that with mine the other day and it would set the parking brake but wouldnt turn it off when you put it into gear.

Love the brake assist with the rear sensors. Major PITA the the truck doesn't detect my boat trailer...hooked up with a 7 round to 5 flat adapter. I have to turn off the brake assist to back my boat up. I need to look in the manual to see what's up...and if the blind spot assist will still be working as designed.
without working elecrtric trailer brakes, the truck can't detect it.
I doubt turning the Tow/Haul on mode on would disable the rear Park Assist either.
If you towing a trailer, any blind spot detection other than using your mirrors is useless.
The auto manufacturers can't even get the vehicle blind spot detection right let alone for a trailer (of which the truck has no idea how long that is).The 2019s blind spot detection detects the trailer and allows for it (F150s had it starting in 2017 with trailer assist). Disabling the park assist turned off the rear brake assist.

I pass by hundreds of cars every day, by the time the indicator pops up on the mirror, it already too late for them to change lanes.
Some of this technology in vehicles is going to create a bunch more drivers that are oblivious to what's around them.
Ford's trailer assist, if you can't back a trailer up with mirrors, you shouldn't be pulling it down the road.
