My only gripes are 1. The auto start/stop feature, pushing the little button is annoying but I hear there's a little module I can install that deactivates it and 2. Despite having the trailer package and place for saftey chains to hook up, I don't have a factory receiver hitch, I'll have to order one and install it myself before the summer.

Loving the ecoboost though, my last truck was an 06 silverado with the 4.3 and this little motor is lightyears better.

You can plug a cheap LED nightlight into the 110 outlet behind the console. That turns off the A/S/S with just enough power draw. Then you can save your money for other mods. ?

I add the Autostop Eliminator to every vehicle I buy that has that dumb thing.

The “Trailer Package” includes a 7-pin connector plus a 2” receiver hitch. You simply have what all Rangers have; a trailer mode switch and chain hook-ups because they all accept a bumper hitch ball that is rated at about 3,500 lbs?? - someone correct me if that’s not correct.

Ah I see. I saw trailer package on the window sticker and assumed a receiver would be included. I suppose that's on me for not researching.
