Chuckster is absolutely correct. I experienced the same thing in my Passport on the first time out in May this year. When the fan is not in AU it will come on while the furnace is running.

I also have a 2013 F150 and a 2012 2890RL. I second Javi's comments. I have not felt unsafe while towing this combo, but it is not what I'd call a comfortable ride.
