If you can get them to install it for the $120 that was quoted on the Ford Accessories web site, it may be well worth the money because only a Ford dealership with an active FDRS license can program the vehicle electronics to fully activate the tow package module to integrate it with the vehicle...
Mr Toad is a 2023, so the Ford/Lumen tow package wiring harness did not require any splicing. But apparently for earlier model years, the pin connectors are a slightly different shape, so they include pigtails in the box that can be spliced on the end to replace the newer pin connectors. The...
This is just a bit over your budget, but airs up 4 Sasquatch tires in under 7 minutes and is easy to carry between vehicles. The EZ FLATE CASE. I highly recommend the matching Recoil Hose System for ease of use and convenience. See this post for a complete video review. Half the price of an...
It's disheartening to see how many posts feature owners who did engage Neutral Tow Mode properly, only to have the transmissions damaged. Ford needs to address the possibility of a failure in the vehicle's software or hardware that can indicate Neutral Tow mode is engaged when it either isn't...

Pairs with very convenient hose set that makes airing down, up, and...
