2021 F150 trailer disconnect alarm issues
So, last fall I bought a 2021 F150 XLT 2.7. It comes with an amazing amount electronic "stuff", including a bunch of stuff related to towing. One weird thing is, with all the towing / trailer sensor...

I have looked through the owner's "manual"... these days, the "manual" is in the multi-function display screen, and I find it very hard to scroll through screen after screen looking for what I want.
I actually downloaded the manual in PDF form onto my computer and it is a little better looking for things, but to my old fashioned brain looking through an actual book is easier.
The owner's manual simply says that the truck has a trailer disconnect alarm.
One thing I did find was that you can setup the truck for different trailers, and there are options to turn on and off with the different trailers. But I just saw that last night and haven't had a chance to check on that.
Funny (or not) on one of the Ford online forums a guy pulled in late to a campground, left the truck and trailer connected to leave early, got into bed in the trailer and then the truck's trailer alarm went off. He jumped out of bed and disconnected the truck completely and pulled it away from the trailer so it wouldn't turn on again.
That is one of the odd things about this alarm... sometimes it waits 5 or 10 minutes before going off. You'd think a "theft" alarm would immediately activate.
So I'm still trying to figure this all out.
