    2012 Explorer XLT adding 7-pin without factory tow package

    I had a chance to crawl under the explorer and can confirm that the brake and battery charger wires are there. The brake wire is a 12ga blue wire and the switched power wire is a 12ga orange wire right next to the blue brake wire. Only thing left to verify is if the programming exists for tow...
