Can someone explain these packages?

On my build sheet for my 05 F-250 FX4 it lists three packages I don't know what they consist of. Does anyone know?

1) Camper Pack
2) Trailer Tow Prep Pack
3) Generic Country Group 1

1) Camper Pack= heavier spring rates.
2) Trailer Tow Prep Pack= prewired for trailer use. do you have a wire harness for a brake controller?
3) Generic Country Group 1= I don't know!

From the 2005 order guide:

CAMPER PACKAGE (532)
Availability:
• Not available with 66D Pickup Box Delete, 63B Stabilizer
Package or 674 Heavy Service Suspension Package
Includes:
• Extra heavy service front springs 4x2 (2 Up upgrade above the
spring computer selected as a consequence of options chosen.
Not included if maximum springs have been computer selected
as standard equipment)
• Heavy service front springs (4x4) (1 Up upgrade above the
spring computer selected as a consequence of options chosen.
Not included if maximum springs have been computer selected
as standard equipment)
• Rear stabilizer bar
• Slide-in camper certification
• Auxiliary springs

I don't see the trailer tow prep pack or generic country group 1 listed as options so I am going to have to assume these are standard equipment for a US or Cdn truck.

It appears trailer tow prep pack is just this - it comes with trucks that do not have the inegrated brake controller or full tow package.
"Trailer Tow Package – 7-way connector and trailer brake wiring kit (no controller)"

Here's the link to the 2005 order guide so you can have a look at the options, etc.

The trailer tow prep and generic country are just base options. Your truck obviously had the IBC installed as an additional upgrade (probably separate) if you are not showing the full Tow Command System (91T).

That is how my truck was ordered originally. It had the IBC, the wiring harness, the hitch, but didn't include the extras like the trailer tow mirrors that are supposed to be included with this option....so I just upgraded to the trailer tow extending mirrors myself.

My 2008 has the prep package and it includes the connections at the hitch, and a harness in the glovebox for use with an aftermarket brake control. I wish it had come with the IBC option but the truck was free, so I won't complain.

That'd be nice, but no.

Just a guess, but could Generic Country Group 1 maybe be the Daytime Running Lights mandated in Canada?

I was guessing this is something that gives you the option for farenheit / celsius and miles / kilometres depending on whether you were in the US or Canada. Who knows - maybe North America is Generic Country Group 1 now.

Anybody have any other ideas on that one???

I just went to Fords website and tride to spec out a truck. It has me wondering. anyways. Nothing listed, not even under other options.

Either they discontinued that option or maybe it is a Canadian thing?? Bottom line... No help here. I tried though. I googled it and nothing

Maybe it was a C.D.
