Hidden settings
The trick is the hidden settings! There are a few. Goto main menu, down to settings, right to select. You’ll see a few. Now the magic: Hold the down arrow. More settings, including trailer blind spot, so ip. Turn it on.

Same problem here
Please let me know how you fixed it. I am havingsame issue. . Thanks
I'm glad to find a thread on this issue because I have it too. My truck is equipped with all the trailering options - Pro Backup Assist, HDPP, BLIS et al, and Trailering BLIS. Yesterday I set up my first trailer, a 4x8 flatbed. I read the manual and supplemental towing instructions multiple time and was very careful with all the measurements, including the overall length, and sticker placement. The backup assist works brilliantly, the truck deactivates BLIS when the trailer (4-pin connector) is plugged in. I find no option to activate BLIS with the trailer. Unplug the trailer, BLIS is back to normal. Also, with trailer unplugged, the towing screen indicates No Trailer. This is as it should be but I was expecting to have to manually select a "No Trailer" setting.
There is very little information in the manual about BLIS with a trailer. It's starting to sound like there is a secret setup/hook-up order. Maybe choose the trailer first then plug it in or maybe it's the other way around on odd days of the month. I've only had one go at it but get a couple more chances this week. I'll report back here if I find anything definitive, else I'll just whine that this feature is flaky.
Staying tuned,

Yes one has to go in and select the trailer each and every time why simply put Ford is not liable for any mistakes.
Have one setting entered in the truck for all trailers.
Couple feet of extra safety room back there doesn't hurt a thing.
And yes I am a old fart and lane jumping is not my thing anymore.
