I don't understand why Ford has you identify each trailer that you have then doesn't do anything useful with that information (such as adjust predicted mpg).
I don't know about your Ford, but on mine there is a menu setting on the dash "Settings/DTE Calculation" that allows me to select "Normal" or "Towing." It does give me different DTE (distance to empty) figures. Now, if you have multiple trailers, it won't differentiate between them, but there are separate readouts for towing/not towing.
I have 3 different trailers that I pull frequently with 3 quite different impacts on fuel economy. I am talking 9, 12 and 15mpg. I don't want to hijack the thread but it disappoints me that Ford came so close to a good system then totally dropped the ball and seems to have no interest in picking it back up. I would love to talk with Ford directly about this and some other issues but get better results talking to a brick wall than their customer service department.
