2021 model and mine will stay on for quick stops as long as trailer remains connected. Other modes it will ask if I want to return to mode (say echo for example) when I start up the truck.

Absolutely love my Ford F250 Platinum Super Duty with 6.7l Turbo Diesel. Love the following:
- Adaptive Cruise...Enhanced safety
- 6.7l Turbo Diesel...Plenty of HP and Torque
- Heated/Cooled front seats. Rear seats are heated only...wish they would be cooled as well.
- Massaging Seat...Good for the Tush on long drives
- Pro Trailer Backup and boat loads of camera for a complete 360 view
- Ford made it very easy to add after market accessories by providing you with a boat load of wires already through the firewall for you to use....not to mention the up-fitter switches for convenient on/off controlling. I've already used 3 of mine for on board air system, air horn, hardwired dash camera.
- All LED lights...makes the night come alive to improve visibility
- Power Running Boards...so far no issues...so I really like them
- Improved gas mileage over my gas engine when towing. I get around 12 mpg when towing. On highway when not towing I get between 21 and 23 (flat ground) depending on speed... 63 mph is the sweet spot for best fuel efficiency for my truck.
About the only thing I don't like about the Ford F250 Super Duty is the ride since I have the stiffer suspension for increased payload. My son has the RAM 1500 Big Horn and it rides better than most cars. Not sure how the Heavy Duty RAMS ride, but I'm assuming they'll ride better than Ford, GM, etc. since they use coil springs versus leaf springs.

We have a 2015 GMC Denali and it too rides better than most cars especially small one's.

Simple/reasonable to add options I'd like to have on my F450:
30 or 50A plug in the back to connect RV while running down the road. 220V 50A would be the best, that way I can run a welder too.
Full air suspension (like the Kelderman setup, from the factory)
Lower truck! It's an F450, not a rock crawler for Moab! All the new trucks are too darn high, annoying to get in/out of, but, more importantly, they make towing a 5'er level difficult/impossible.
Crazy option:
Diesel electric hybrid drive. Electric motors driving the wheels, a smallish battery (50KW?), a plug, and a diesel engine spinning a generator for when you need it. I could do all my around town without the engine coming on, then when towing, I'd have ridiculous power, better efficiency and no range issues, just pull into the truck stop like I do now and fuel up.

Don't know about the Ford's and GMC/Chevy's - but I wish Ram would go back to a manual shifter for 4x4 and add lock-out hubs. Would really help on the mileage.
Yes, an on-board air compressor would be nice - maybe I'll look into adding an aftermarket system - great idea guy's. Just checked (Viair 20002 Continuous Duty On-Board Air System) ranges btw $400 - $700. Lots of guy's with Jeeps use these systems since they air-down when they hit the trail. Would also be great for us if you needed to add some air and nowhere close to a truckstop.
Our mega-cab dually rides good but it's even better since I went to 20in wheels and bigger tires.Ralf & Cheryl

Honestly, I could care less about the mileage "advantage".
The amount of control a manual transmission gives me when I'm towing is a huge advantage, for me, over automatic... Until Ford put in the manual selector so I can psuedo control it.
There just isn't anything like a clutch though. I think I'm old school on this one, a dinosaur...
