Boat hooked up, in tow/haul mode, rear sensors turned off, front sensors on When I reverse with the boat in wide open areas the front sensors start alerting red and orange showing something up front when nothing is close. Thoughts?

It could be the angle at which the sensors are aiming due to the load on the back of the truck changing the driving angle. Does your truck sag a lot in the back when towing ? I did a rear level kit on my truck and my issue is even a curb 4 feet away makes the truck lock the brakes up for impact, or even a slight dip in the road when backing up. I like that the sensors can detect vehicles coming and going in cross traffic, but I think they are bit too sensitive for my liking.
