Correct, it would level in the first few meters of driving.The mechanical LLS is automatic, but passive. There's nothing to learn. That's why it's so nice.

Not sure what the pro back assist does, but I'm pretty proficient at backing up.
The owners manual also mentions setting up the trailer-mounted TPMS and camera system (which is available accessory on Super Duty trucks), but no one can give me an answer about whether or not it is actually available for the Expy. The parts manual shows compatibility only for the Super Duty. I asked my dealer the same question about why would it be in the manual. His reply: that first-edition manuals often contain errors. I suppose they may cut and paste sections of other manuals when putting together new ones. In the case of the self-leveling suspension, maybe the manual contains it in error.
I called my local Ford dealer and spoke with the parts guy. His Dad just bought a 2018 Platinum and it does come with load leveling shocks standard. Kinda puts the lie to the threads that bad mouth the 2018 vs 2017 because of squat when towing.
and appears to be OEM on the 2018s.

The Platinum only comes with one package the 600B and optional HD towing package if you so choose to get it
These are the standard features on the Platinum. Funny I don't see Load Leveling Suspension on there

I inquired with the service writer I know at the local dealership when I took delivery of ours last month. His response was discouraging as he that the supported trailer wheels should be steel and that a 2nd 7-pin connector was needed for the TPMS and camera feed. He was unsure if the trailer camera showed up on the center screen, but if not, where? He didn’t know anyone in the area who had installed this optional feature.
I use a TireMinder TPMS for our trailer. The sensors replace the valve stem caps and transmit wirelessly to a small display that’s Velcro attached to the dash.
