BLIS on 2025 Maverick XL with trailer

[awd]

with no update on the fix for the reverse camera safety recall being available for my 2024 maverick, i may instead get a 2025 Maverick XL with the new AWD hybrid drivetrain.

on the 2025 orders, adding the 4k tow package now requires the Co-Pilot360 option.

does the Blind Spot Information System (that's part of the required package) work with a trailer attached? will the indicator light in the mirror appear when a vehicle is next to the truck or trailer?

i saw the TFL towing video where they showed the trailer menu on the infotainment screen. inside their defined trailer settings, the last option for "trailer blind spot" appeared to be grayed out and set to off. was this due to BLIS not working with their particular trailer, or the entire system being turned off, or was it grayed out because BLIS needs a higher trim / option / package to work with a trailer?

the online pdf copy of the owner's manual makes reference to both "blind spot assist" and "blind spot assist with trailer coverage" and on the "blind spot information system (if equipped)" pages, it indicates a trailer length can be specified. however, the manual does not make any indication of which package / option includes this feature.

can someone whom has a 2025 XL with 4k tow package (and its required co-pilot360 option) please check whether or not the blind spot indicators in the mirrors will light up when vehicles are next to an attached trailer?

I just got a text notification from my dealer to call them for this recall to be fixed. Anyone else get one yet?

You may know this but on my 23 XLT it makes me acknowledge that the BLIS and cross traffic alert is deactivated when I plug in my trailer.

i did not receive any notice from the dealer.

i just spoke with the manager today whom was helping me get a quote to order a 2025 (which i did not accept as the discount he offered was not as much as i was expecting), and he mentioned something which sounded like Ford would soon be updating them regarding the recall.

thank you. i read something about that, which is why i was looking for clarification if it works for the 2025 or not.

if it was changed to allow BLIS with trailers on the 2025's, then it would make more sense as to requiring the co-pilot360 be ordered with the 4k tow package. if not, despite it being a nice feature, it's just another unnecessary markup. i was ready to go ahead with the 2025 order though the quote i got today was for more than i was expecting.. i could justify spending some more for the hybrid and BLIS if it works with the trailer, but not too much more.

I think the reason to require it is the additional cameras, not just for BLIS.
