23 GT - Is it missing these features?

[Jooced]

I've had my new GT for about 2 weeks now. About half of that was in the shop getting tint, PPF, etc. As I'm still learning and playing around with settings I'm noticing two things that I thought were on all GT models but mine are missing. (Quick note to say, you're right, I should know all the features of the car I purchased, look at the sticker, etc but between chip shortages and poor OTA updating I've lost confidence in myself for knowing anything at this point)

The two features I would probably never use are:
Kick for tailgate
Auto parking

Are these just not around in the 23 GT? Ford chat says they should be. The in-dash manual has sections on them *if equipped*. I should have Blue Cruise too but we all know that story.

These quit being available due to chip shortages. Double check your window sticker though.

Replying again to say fordchat, like FordPass, doesn’t know a gopher hole from an anatomical hole.

Check controls and settings menus.

Liftgate: Check settings-->vehicle (on left side)-->scroll down to "Power Liftgate" and turn on hands off.

Parking: Check "Controls" --> "Parking" on left. Press the physical |P| button on the center console. That should fire up on your screen the Parking assistance options.

Pressing the physical |P| button on the center console just brings up a 99% blank screen and offers to help find local parking near me. So dumb to even include that button - they should at least have it bring up 360 cameras or something.

The 22s dropped the kick sensor but I thought they said they brought it back for 23.
The park assist should show as -325 (or maybe not at all on 23s) on the window sticker.
When I push the button on my 22, nothing happens.

Hands free lift gate was deleted on 2022. Active park assist should show a credit on your sticker of $325. That may be available at a later date.

The 22s still had the kick sensor, but it was disabled in software (could be enabled with FORScan). For 2023, it looks like the sensor has been removed. And I don't think the 2023s get the $325 credit for the lack of Park Assist because it was never in the order guide for 2023.

Makes sense on the park assist.
Early 22s had the sensor disabled, later ones it was removed completely.

I know people were assuming that, but did anyone ever post a picture of it missing? It's quite possible.

I'll check when my wife gets home. We have a late July build and I'll crawl under.

So to be clear they are no longer around.

I have a 22 GT and have both (kick to open had to be activated for FORSCAN). I’ve had the auto park feature in multiple cars now and never use it. Honestly, my 15yo son with a permit can park faster. I also find myself force-stopping the autopark more in the Mach-e to avoid curb rash than in my other cars. You’re not missing much. Kick to open is fantastic however.
