Tow Package Question

[mtap]

What actually comes with it? Is it just the receiver? If I don't get one, will it still be prewired and I can just get aftermarket? I'd rather spend the $595 on other accessories if it's just a receiver...?

We dont know yet. Hopefully order guides are released to dealers soon, those will have the contents of the package.

I think it’s the receiver and plugs for that price.

It’s wired for a trailer too. All I need is the receiver for racks and another snatch strap point, so I’m hoping it will be available as a DIO without the wiring for $250 or so. I need it day one though. I hate the aftermarket ones as they always sit lower, and the OEM ones are nice and tight to the frame.

There are a few threads on the tow package. https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/towing-package-content.4610/

I don't think anyone knows how it's pre-wired yet. My assumption would be plug and play (like Jeep does it), run an extra plug off one of the taillights. Which in turn will make this a $100 aftermarket option.

Maybe for Ford's next event someone can ask that question.

I think there is a nanny called "trailer sway control" included.

Never thought of that... Then again never had it either.. I'd be fine with saving the $600 at that point. But some people might want that.

This is all we know right now. With how overpriced some things are on the B&P I'm betting you don't get much more then a hitch & wiring, but at this price I'm definitely going aftermarket.

This is my concern...i know the hitch will be cheaper after market. But if i don’t get the package, will it not come with this (the plug)?

I think it’s pretty safe to assume that without the tow package, you do not get the plug/wiring harness, or the receiver.

As discussed in the other thread, we won’t know how easy it will be to add a harness in the future aftermarket... but the 4-pin should be relatively easy with a plug-and-play harness. 7-pin gets more complicated.

Most vehicles (trucks) already come with the wiring/plug even without a hitch (tow package)....so that’s what i was curious about $595 hitch? Or are they not gonna put the plug either if you don’t get the “package”. If it’s a “package”, I’m assuming it’s more than a hitch?

Kinda pathetic that the integrated brake controller is not included at that price.

This is from Outer Banks under "Safety". It looks like it is standard whether you get the tow package or not.
