I'm sure you're right but I can't understand how that works...

Now you have me wondering - do you need the whole tow tech bundle? I was planning on just getting the ultimate camera package, not the whole bundle. The adaptive steering, lane departure, and automatic wipers seem like stuff I could live without to save a grand on a truck that's already waaay more than I wanted to spend.


Seems like as long as you have the ultimate camera option, you should be good to go.

I hope that is all you need as I did not order the tpms/camera kit from factory.

Looks like you can order the camera/TPMS kit online. I've seen a few Ford dealers selling the kits at discounted rates. You can get the camera kit or the camera/TPMS kit

Yes the kit is cheaper that way for me but I hope the rest is already in the truck

I would guess the Ultimate Tow camera package would be enough. See this post i just made about the four camera options. Three of the four options support the Aux camera.

According to the order guide, In order to use the customer placed camera, you need:
Sync 3 and Ultimate Trailer Tow cameras system OR Rear CHMSL camera.

I have the sync3/ ultimate tow camera on my XL, which is probably a rarity I assume.

When I looked about a month ago, there was a crap load of them on Ebay as well.

I don't have Ultimate Tow, but I did order CHMSL
I look for the harness behind the bumper. It wasn't obvious. Is is it more hidden?

That's what I thought I read before I got my truck. I felt up there but found nothing and figured I didn't have it. Does the tire have to be lowered?

Not sure. Maybe try looking with a flashlight?

It's the same harness that plugs into your existing bumper outlets. You just switch it over from what I read.
