@anthony hitchings Easy for you to say as it is not always about $$. The Tow Option was one of the commodity restraints. Many people dropped that option (including me) in order to get there Bronco sooner. Aftermarket could have probably made a lot more money if they had more options out in the early months. I personally wanted a aftermarket 7 pin but opted to put in the Ford 4 Pin and later get a adapter.
So I have a question I hope you can answer. I had Ford install there 4-pin Ford version of this after delivery (they gave me a good price). I noticed they too added the long + lead all the way to the battery. Why would the 4-pin need this? Is it to future proof for a 7 pin which requires a positive connection for trailer battery. I thought typical 4 pins just needed connections at the taillights for lights, braking, and signals...
@@LifestyleOffroad Thanks for quick reply. Do you think I could use this line to also power the + lead wire for a 7 pin that charges trailer battery. I have a 4 to 7 pin adapter on order so I can tow light trailers.
How is it cheaper? At the time I got my Bronco the hitch was holding up production. I have less then $240 into this. Factory installed was $650. I don’t plan on towing much anyhow. This is mostly for a bike rack.
@jimthompson, as Lifestyle explained, this is due to a commodity restraint forcing many early Bronco buyers to go aftermarket. I was more about making sure I could get the engine, suspension, and driving tech I wanted, than something as easy as a tow package that you can easily do aftermarket.
