Yes, the Ford F-150 can be equipped with rain-sensing wipers. The rain-sensing wipers feature automatically turns on the windshield wipers whenever the on-board sensor detects rain. In the fourteenth generation of the Ford F-150, the rain-sensing wipers can be enabled or disabled via the SYNC 4 infotainment system. To do this, you can go to Settings on the touchscreen, select Vehicle Settings, select Wipers, and switch Rain Sensing on or off.
It’s worth noting that the rain-sensing windshield wipers system must be turned off before entering an automatic car wash. Additionally, it is important to keep the outside of the windshield clean, as the rain sensor is very sensitive and the wipers may operate if dirt, mist, or insects hit the windshield.
