I have the 402 a with all the goodies including all the tow stuff, it is the best riding truck I have EVER been in!! The ride is very VERY smooth even with the added tow capability, don't worry, get the trailer package an extra 1100 hundred bucks over the life of your loan is nothing.........you never know when you will need it.
You likely have 400a or 401a? The 402a tow package add on is less.
402A. The package originally cost 1100, at least it did in December 21 when I ordered. They lowered it down several times, I believe it’s only 280 now.
As far as I know the Tremor package itself gives the 36gal tank, at least in 21-22 it did, have not seen anything other than a 36 gal tank on them, the tow packages basically consists of the hitch, wiring, brake controllers and something to do with the leaf springs, what exactly I can't say because looking at mine side by side with one that doesn't have it the leaf springs look pretty much the same, some say the intercooler and radiator are slightly different, some say the transmission pan is slightly larger, but I have not noticed any difference and mine came with everything but the 18 speaker sound system and blue cruise.
I think the lot kids take these out and sell them or something, I didn't get any type of adapter. Is there something other than the 4-pin and 7pin harness that's on the bumper already?
I believe that number is TOTAL including the truck.
After looking again since you asked. For the 3.5 eb it did go from 11k to 10k according to the towing charts for 2022 to 2023. But in both charts the combined total weight for the 3.5 tremor is 17,100 lbs. And the 2023 5.0 tremor is 15,800 lbs combined. Not sure what the difference is in the trucks other than engines. Suspension should be the same, right? A lighter engine with a bit more power and torque gets you 1,300 lbs more of towing? Hmm. Not quite sure about that. But if you use the ford towing calculator website, it will show 7k lbs max towing for the tremor. If I’m using it correctly. No wonder it’s very confusing when it comes to this topic. Personally I wouldn’t want to tow more than 7k lbs in a 1/2 ton.
Finally! Good to see this in print. I feel like I’ve tried similar links before and it never worked. 11,000 lbs just like I was expecting. Most I’ve had my trailer loaded up to is probably 6500 though. That felt plenty heavy for me as a towing newbie.
Look underneath between rear bumper and the spare tire. You may have the other plug up there not connected. Its the 12 pin. Mine has it but the trailer wiring harness runs around a grand or so. It includes a backup camera and TPMS for up to 4 tires on the trailer. Not sure if it is all worked out yet with updates some of the guys on here had trouble getting it all working showing the TPMS on the media display/dash.
