2016 Towing Package - trailer wiring?


Recommended Posts

Recently bought a 2016 SEL AWD that included Ford's trailer towing package. But I looked under there and do not see a trailer wiring plug. I do see a wire up in the bumper, but it seems fixed and I'm guessing it has something to do with either the collision or parking sensors. 

 

Did Ford include trailer wiring? I find it odd that they would include the hitch, but not the wiring harness. 

 

The pic is what I see from below

If the trailer wiring is the dealer-installed Ford accessory kit, it may have a ribbon of four wires (white, black, yellow and green) leading to the 4-pin connector, along with a Ford logo on the rubber cap.

 

Good luck!
