Does that ford have an automatic shut off system to keep you from letting it idle?

Only for a 30 minute limit, which you can over ride on screen in Sync 4 by just tapping it, then it will run until it's out of fuel.

I can completely eliminate it in FORScan if I want to.

They all do now I believe. Just set the parking park and leave transmission in neutral. It should continue to idle past 30 minutes.

This is what we did with my 2020 Chevy 3500, and it worked flawlessly.
My 2024 Babymax I purchased the " smartstopstart" plug and play device.

Watching a video last night of a hotshot trucker explaining clearance lights. By law apparently if your 8' wide with your trailer or maybe over 8' by law you need clearance lights. Doesn't sound like it's enforced, but both the ram Trx, and the raptor has them built into the hood, where a lot of dually's have them on roof, fender, and some across the tailgate. With it technically being a law why wouldn't every 2500 and 3500 come with them automatically? Seems most travel trailers would meet this criteria. Maybe the lights on the mirrors cover that?

Bought my truck used one yr old, it didn't come with them and I wanted them. I bought the factory lights and harness and had them installed. Was going to do it myself but the holes aren't round and have to be cut in. Also have to remove headliner and A pillar, it would've been a pita. Total was $600 for something that's a $61 option from the factory. I learned the same thing when researching them. Towing 8' or wider they're supposed to be required.
