The factory air ride has Ram currently at the top of the list for my next truck in 3 years. It'll likely be a dually, so anything to smooth out the ride is a plus.

Ford uses a 12 pin connector for the trailer TPMS, aux camera, and backup assist. Anyone know if that plug is standard across. Ford, GM and Ram?

Mine rides well for a DRW with 30psi rears and 80psi fronts unloaded. I keep it in ALT ride mine keeping the truck near level with or without a load.
With 6k pin weight and 67psi rears it also rides well.

I was towing in the mountains on the weekend and found the current Powerstroke’s poor torque rise to contribute to a negative towing experience. The engine looses rpm too quickly in the hills. I’d like to see 1200 lb ft of torque with about 505 HP. The other thing I found very annoying is the way my truck applies the wheel brakes on downhill grades while using cruise control. I found myself having to cancel cruise constantly to allow my truck to coast a bit on the downhill sections of road. The way cruise use to work was better.

I can see the value in it for someone who just wants to set the cruise and forget he’s driving but for those of us who like to pay a bit of attention to what’s going on it would be real nice if we could shut the downhill wheel braking off and still have adaptive cruise control…. If braking is needed to maintain a certain following distance I’m ok with that. I’m also ok with the wheel brakes being applied momentarily at engine red line which is what the truck does when cruise is not being used.

Already getting bored up north, or what?
You're starting to sound like you've got solutions looking for problems that don't exist.

Ford probably isn't even providing the adaptive cruise control option right now or the foreseeable future due to parts supply issues. Heck they have trucks setting at the Kentucky race track waiting for Ford logos that are made in some other country.

My brother has a 2022 Platinum on order that he was just told is to be built in December. He’s expecting to get it loaded up with everything other than adaptive steering. The dealer said the massage seats are still on the order which is somewhat surprising.

So even less relevant to your '23?
