The last 3 that I had never had a hitch installed. I did install one on the 03 I had. Then traded it in about 2 years after I installed it.The current one had the factory tow package. Wont buy another one with out the tow package.

My 2010 STX 4.6 had no hitch receiver when i bought it. I had the dealer put one on at no charge to me. It did however had the 4 pin trailer connection.
I don't think i'll ever get one without a tow package... the towing capability on my truck is far from good. I believe i'm limited to 5,500 LBS. I don't really tow that much so it's not that big of a deal, but would like the option to tow something bigger if needed.

Ok guys, I'm sorry. Let me be more specific.
Is there anyone here who bought a 2009 and newer F-150 without a tow hitch? And, do you still own the truck? And, do you intend to install a hitch?

A) You are just curious how many people bought trucks without a hitch.
B) You are wondering because you do not have one and intend to install a hitch on your truck.
C) You are wanting to sell your hitch to someone less fortunate.

Owned a 2009 STX 4X4 Supercab 145" wheelbase styleside that was 1year old, purchased used, 2nd owner, and did not have a hitch receiver.
Installed one that I bought from U-HAUL. Removed it when traded-in for the current 2011 FX4 off road (which came with one).

I just purchased a 2012 F150 XL without a Hitch or trailer wiring. I have had it about 3 weeks now.
I ordered a Drawtite Hitch for it, and am looking at installing the Ford TBC if I can afford it.

I'm 99% sure that you can't add a Ford TBC to a truck that didn't come factory with a 7-pin connection. As you don't have a factory hitch, I would imagine that you don't have the 7-pin connection. Sorry

I am still researching, but you are probably correct.
Thanks Jim
