Default New 2011 lariat and a few questions...

Question 1: Why is my back up sensors picking up my trailer ball? Never did on my 2010. Can i adjust them somehow?

Question 2: Is there a simple way to make the power fold mirrors fold in with the key? I would like to fold in every time i turn my key off.

Question 3: Is there a quick fix for the rattling man step? While driving down my driveway my step rattles like crazy.. Never did on my 10.

Question 4: Does the 110 Volt accessory plug have to be grounded for it to work. i cant seems to get my cell phone charger to work unless i plug it into a grounded power strip..

The only thing I can comment on is question 1. My back up sensors do not pick up my trailer ball. Check your sensors and make sure one of them isn't pointed down or bent.

What bcb97 said. Sorry, not much help. My man step does not rattle, take it to the dealer.

To comment on the mirrors. I did a mod on my last truck 2008 f250 king ranch. I wired the power fold mirrors to fold in when I locked the truck with my remote fob. Then ether would unfold when I unlocked it. I cant remember how I did it. I follow directions from a guy on powerstroke.org. It was an awesome mod and I never problems. I know I had to do some fancy wiring but it was a different truck but the same concept. Hope this helps.

one more thing.... I wouldn't try Vp Air Race Fuel in the ecoboost. it is a 160 octane. my turbos are glowing as are my heads and exhaust... it just died for some reason... But it ran really good there for a few minutes... yes i am joking!
