From what I've read.....it does not include brake controller.If it includes wiring to the dash for a trailer brake controller that’s worth something.

It does not include the trailer brake controller... but the trailer brake controller listed in the accessory catalog "requires factory tow package."From what I've read.....it does not include brake controller.
Agreed.There's a big difference between the hitch rating and the vehicle tow rating. But I really don't care enough to convince you of that so feel free to believe whatever you like.
yeah, might disabled reverse sensors though?i ordered the trailer tow package to permanently turn off the start/stop feature on the engine. through the sync screen you can only disable it until the vehicle is turned off. Then it resets to back on. youtube videos show if you buy a trailer harness tester and leave it plugged into the plug by the trailer hitch, it fools the vehicle into thinking a trailer is attached. so it disables start/stop feature all the time. tester on amazon is only $10-$15.
Right. I change my own oil too, not to save money, but to ensure I'm really getting synthetic, that the filter really is being changed, that the drain plug is, in fact, reinstalled and threaded correctly and not overtightened, etc. Doing your own work is the only way to ensure you're getting the best work (as long as it's something you know how to do).I change my own oil too, probably not worth it, but it’s therapeutic. I just added the prices in to evaluate cost both ways.
You can disable the start/stop permanently through forscan. Did that in my f150 day 1 and been off for 3yrs.i ordered the trailer tow package to permanently turn off the start/stop feature on the engine. through the sync screen you can only disable it until the vehicle is turned off.

you could save some money by using the override plug for the OBII port or just use Forscan.i ordered the trailer tow package to permanently turn off the start/stop feature on the engine. through the sync screen you can only disable it until the vehicle is turned off.

When I connect my trailer harness to my f150, it automatically disables my rear bumper sensors. Whereas in my wife’s grand cherokee, I have to manually disable the rear sensors when backing up with the trailer.yeah, might disabled reverse sensors though?
Right, I guess that's our dilemma. No one yet has a Bronco, so no one yet knows if installing an aftermarket hitch (or even the OEM hitch) is a simple plug-and-play operation. Too many unknowns I suppose to make this an educated decision.I was really on the fence about it though and it does burn me to spend $600 for a receiver/t-connector... if the thing was on the street and I had more intel on how an aftermarket hitch fits I would have been very open to changing it.
i do have a 20% off coopinNever buy at REI unless it's during a big sale.
A vehicle’s tow rating depends on the manufacturer’s. GCWR. The hitch rating is only for the hardware. It is a maximum for a class. The actual tow rating for the vehicle can be a lot less.Yeah quick search on ford’s towing selector for the sport states 2,200lbs. So who knows at this point.
Your time does not start when you pick up a wrench.But it's certainly not worth $300/hr.
