Towing mode

First tow this weekend and was impressed with the handling.


Two questions about tow mode. Every time I stop the engine it resets back to auto mode. Is there any way to keep it in tow mode?


More importantly - I could not back up the trailer because the auto brakes kept activating. Seems silly that rear sensors are still active with a trailer attached. My 5 year old Escape was intelligent enough to auto sense when a trailer was plugged in and also deactivate the rear parking sensors. I'm really surprised with all the technology in this truck it doesn't have this feature.
