What mode???

[rangerrichie]

So, can all those who told to choose tow haul mode or were sarcastic to new member, help me to find it? Probably I don’t need to look it up from OM?

@rangerrichie You probably don’t have trailer button anywhere? That means no tow haul mode Don’t worry, it’s a diesel engine truck, you can use sport mode and that’s all. 2000 kg trailer is far from this truck’s actual towing limit
In case if it’s brand new truck I wouldn’t start with sport mode and trailer towing right away.

thanks so much, yeah its a diesel and definitely no tow mode..... had there been a tow button I would probably have used it ,,,.....

There is no tow mode. Connect the trailer and wires and go. The truck recognizes the trailer but no special mode selection needed. Diesel engines aren’t so sensitive as petrol so no worries so there is enough power.

Edit: I am probably one of those bookworms when it comes to 5G OM.

With all the electronic stuff, that's how it should be, just plug and play. But hell, US 5G didn't even have a trailer brake controller even with the tow package. Looks like 6G will be similar. Standard tow package gets you the 4 pin/7 pin harness and a class IV hitch receiver. On XLT and above, the Advanced Tow package adds a Trailer Brake Controller and Pro Trailer Backup Assist (whatever that is) at a cost of $825.

tow button? we don't have that here

No, he is referencing the 'Toe' button, not the TOW, I have been looking for that dang TOE button for awhile and can't find it.

Becoming an owner of 6G has been totally different from 5G and I have not had time to get very familiar with her.
It was clear I will not tow with her this season and Wildtrak was sold. We have 7 and 13 pins connections. Wanted to check if she has 13 pin connection or not but forgot today.
5G Wildtrak (that means Stormtrak too I am sure) has trailer sway control like 6G Raptor does.
5G only restriction - don’t drive over 100 km/h with trailer and that is clearly told in OM.

No worries, I'm sure that you'll put your finger on it soon.

Beginning to doubt it, must be another thing to add to the ‘deleted’ list.

Sure you do, its located next to the flux capacitor. However you can only access it with a special tool called a dikfer.

I see the tow button! Hit the big button with two red triangles in it...

My dad's Ford had a "toe" button on the left of the brake pedal...it makes the head lights go up and down...

Some of these people only know how to be jerks when people ask questions, and give rude answers like go read your manual. I'm glad you are kind enough to assist the poor guy.

That’s funny, my Dad’s Ford flat bed had a starter button to the left of the clutch on the floor.
