I think you are right. It seems with most newer vehicles if you pay for the tow package you just get the receiver hitch and wiring for trailer lights. GM products offer a tow/haul switch to change the shift points in the trans but I don't know if Ford ever did anything like that.

Good question Smoken on the phone.

Curtis on some vehicles a tow package might also include an additional or heavier duty transmission cooler.

Wait till you are supergluing something, and you have superglue on your finger, and that phone call you have been waiting on comes in. Of course you are using a phone with a touch screen and you have to slide your finger across the screen to answer the phone call.

I am not saying that happened to me.. but I am thinking of calling it hand free cell phone, and patenting it. I will say however that pulling it off your face, is both painful and embarrassing. or so I have heard.

Curtis, on our way back to Manhattan this evening I told AJ that I spotted a nice Ex and we should get it. It was in a county seat town along the highway in north central KS.
