Why are the Smart Hitch, Pro Power Onboard, and Onboard Scales features no longer available in FordPass? 

Some 2021-2023 F-150/Transit, 2022-2023 F-150 Lightning, and 2023 F-Super-Duty vehicles may experience issues utilizing the Smart Hitch, ProPower Onboard, or Onboard Scales features (if equipped) in the FordPass App.

Symptoms may include:

  • The inability to connect.
  • Incorrect data displayed in FordPass.
  • No weight displayed.
  • Unable to power on/off the feature.
