From the description, I thought it would. Perhaps not...That’s the 4pin option. It doesn’t work with trailer breaks. You need the 7 pin which at this point is only available from the factory, or you need to go aftermarket.

Well shit! Maybe you’re on to somethingFrom the description, I thought it would. Perhaps not...
I am not sure why you'd need that, but sure you could do that.Is it possible to wire it up to aux switches for power supply?
well, just thought it maybe easier then running a wire all the up to the batteryI am not sure why you'd need that, but sure you could do that.
Ah I see. I'm pretty sure the leads for the upfitter switches are under the hood?well, just thought it maybe easier then running a wire all the up to the battery
Gots you....thought the connect was in the rear.. thanks for the infoAh I see. I'm pretty sure the leads for the upfitter switches are under the hood?
Appreciate the info.It's so easy the video would super short. Literally 4 bolts. That's it.
Yes. I did my wiring just a bit different, but that's it.Appreciate the info.
So this is basically it...?
There might be one back there... I have not gotten that far yet.Gots you....thought the connect was in the rear.. thanks for the info
I miss Blanton's . Haven't been able to find it in over a year. Even if I did, just can't pay what they are asking. I remember when it was $44 a bottle at Total Wine.I'm more of a Blanton's guy myself, but yes. I'm happy with the result!
Is the main difference between 4-pin and 7-pin the trailer brakes? I have never towed before, and don't think I will need options for brakes. The only towing Imagine I would be doing is maybe a rental trailer to move landscaping or home improvement materials. Since I would be giving up my truck.Nice work, I plan to do the same.
That said I would’ve agreed with your comment regarding a 7 pin and 3,500 until I did some research and found out a lot more small, light travel trailers and tear drop trailers than I expected do have electronic brakes. It really surprised me that every little teardrop trailer I looked at had electronic brakes even though the ones I looked at weigh less than 2,000 pounds. Anyone considering deleting factory tow should make sure they understand their needs.
I think the difference is brake control for a trailer with electronic brakes, a reverse light (which also releases surge brakes so you can back up) and the last one I think is a power wire but I’m not sure about that. A quick Google search should confirm.Is the main difference between 4-pin and 7-pin the trailer brakes? I have never towed before, and don't think I will need options for brakes.

Do you think I should skip tow package? Would there be an aftermarket solution or the ability to add with Ford later down the road if needed?
Thank you.
Where did you get your hitch cover?Hello, I thought I'd share my tow package build. I have not looked for a similar post so apologies if it's a repeat. But here is my self made Tow package. I removed the factory tow package to hopefully get built quicker, and it worked. Here is my parts list, and a quick install review:
Parts:
1. Curt wiring kit p/n: 56468 - $79.82 (etrailer.com)
2. Curt Receiver Hitch: 13493 - $104.31 (toysfortrucks.com)

Total: $201.02
Savings over Stock: -$393.98
Hitch install, easiest I've ever done. Seriously. It took less than 15 minutes.
Wiring, was relatively easy other than the Wire running to the battery. Had to get creative on that one.
Total install time: 2(ish) hours.
Conclusion: I got my Bronco early, and saved $400. Totally worth it.
