Does anyone know what is the difference between the Tow Technology vs the Trailer Tow Package on a Lariat based on the following configuration?
502A High
- This includes the Class IV hitch (which has the 7 pin harness, smart trailer connector/BLIS)
Active 2.0 Prep
- This requires the 360 camera ($765)
If I add the Tow Technology Package (priced at $880) the net price increase is only $115 given the Tow Tech package includes the 360 camera and trailer brake controller.
If instead I select the Trailer Tow Package the increase is the full amount of the package cost of $1,090.
So my question is what is the difference between the Tow Tech Package on a Lariat with the Active 2.0 Prep package vs the Trailer Tow package as the net increase between these two options is $975 ($1,090 less $115).
Read the post on the differences between packages and the ford towing pdf. Since the Lariat comes with Class IV hitch, 7 pin harness and adding the tow tech package, i think it gives you everything the Trailer Tow Package has. However, i do note that the ford towing pdf says
"Do not exceed a trailer weight of 7,000 lbs. (3,175 kg) or 36 sq. ft. (3.4 sq. m) trailer frontal area with only the Class IV hitch (53B), without the Trailer Tow Package (53A)."
From what I can see in this table, 17T combined with 53B gets you everything the Trailer Tow Package has (53A), but at $975 less cost. Is there something that I'm missing that the 53A has over the combined 17T and 53B?
Do recognize that the trailer weight disclaimer of 7,000 without the 53A, seems like that might the only thing?
Seems like an ordering guide quirk that only happens if one orders the Active 2.0 Prep, without the Active 2.0 Prep the pricing difference between the packages is $210 ($1,090 less $880).
But the pricing difference still does not make sense to me since the 17T and 53B combined have all the items of 53C (and additionally one also gets the 360 camera).
Thanks
