Seems like a lot of work or maybe not because much of it is clips.
Not sure until I get my truck. I won't order the hitch receiver from Amazon until after I take a look at the step in the middle of the bumper.
Cool, not sure where you got that, but do you have the instructions and part numbers to go from 4 pin to 7?
I'll see what I can do but it will have to wait to till tomorrow. Looking at these instructions, it looks like you reuse your original upper rear bumper pad. On the trucks that don't come from the factory with TT, there is not a cut out for the fancy seven pin plug. You will probably have to buy a "trailer tow" bumper pad, wire harness, and plug assembly. It looks like the add on TT kit doesn't do anything as far as upgrading the plug.
There isn't a hole, but there is an inde tented outline where it goes. I have the plug assembly, and it fits in the area where the cutout is. I need to figure out how to connect the 7 pin plug assembly to the wire harness in the bumper. The back of the plug assembly is a circular connector.
The F150 doesn't include an aux cooler in the tow package anymore with the 10 speed transmission, for much higher tow ratings than the ranger. Ford seems to be confident enough about the basic drivetrain to not require upgrades for towing.
I just called parts and the parts guy said the hitch is in
Awesome! Hope it works out. I found a receiver, now I need the wire harness. If your dealer is willing to give you the part numbers they used, please post them. Would also be cool if you could get a few pics of the wire harness connectors before and after
Part numbers should be on the paperwork bill.Awesome! Hope it works out. I found a receiver, now I need the wire harness.

For those of you still searching:
KB32-19D520-A Receiver
FU5Z-14489-A 7-Pin Outlet Bumper Mount
KB3Z-13A576-? Wire Harness
KB3Z-15868-? Wire Harness
Seems like we may need 2 wire harnesses replaced ?
Looking forward to these part numbers as well. Thank you
It looks like I missed the K in my post above, it's the "D" that I needed. Out of curiosity, will the 15K868 without the sensors work if you reuse the sensors from the current harness, or does that version not have all the "pig tails" for the sensors?
The 15K868 harness comes in 4 flavors, with and without backup sensors and with level 1 trailer tow and with level 2 trailer tow (tt package). It appears that the difference between the four is what connectors they have. They all plug into the same harness under the truck. So if you have back up sensors and are looking to use the bumper mounted 7/4 pin plug like @joeb427 did, then you would need KB3Z-15K868-D which has all the pigtails.
