Doesn’t the factory tow package come with both 4 and 7 pin connectors?

Yes, but their truck didn't have tow package at all.

Yes, but their truck didn't have tow package at all.

Yep. Maybe it was just me, but they made it sound like the tow package wouldn’t be able to be ordered with a 7 pin connector at all, when it is in fact included and available on many models… just not the FE.. thus they had to get it aftermarket.

Still, really happy they did the video as we are hoping to rent or buy a teardrop in the coming years, so it was good to see it shouldn’t be too much of an issue.

I am thankful they are comparing the Bronco to the FJ--- We are moving from an FJ to an FE/Badlands. I know exactly what I am getting into it.

Yes except the FE shouldn't have come from the factory with the tow kit.

They are using factory Ford parts...

FYI - There is a brake controller in the accessories catalog. If you can get the factory option hitch and 7 pin connector, the accessory controller integrates with the pre-collision assist, etc..

Also, I though all Broncos came with sway control. Wonder if it is something that needed to be turned on with the 4 pin connector install.

 

[Bronco4]

Yes except the FE shouldn't have come from the factory with the tow kit.

The FE 4 Door can not be ordered with the Factory Hitch, but the 2 Door can.

The FE 4 Door can not be ordered with the Factory Hitch, but the 2 Door can.

TY.
