- 2011 Explorer XLT
I did some quick searching and couldn't find exactly what I am looking for.
The XLT I am signing paperwork on today does not have the tow package. I have read that an aftermarket hitch has a rating of 2,000 lbs. As part of the deal, I asked that they put a Ford / OEM or equivalent hitch on there. So my questions are:
1) Do they have a Ford OEM hitch that is installed after the fact (non tow package Explorer)?
2) If they do, is it still rated at 2k or will it be rated at 5k tow capacity?
3) Do all the bumpers have the break away part to hide the hitch or will it be installed below?
The second set of questions deals with the MyTouch. The sales guys said that whenever an Explorer is traded in and certified (this one is), they upgrade the MyTouch to the latest version. I do believe him, but I know that that's not always the case. The radio performed flawlessly yesterday when I was streaming my music from my iPhone, but this morning, it was not working correctly.
1) Is there a place that lists the latest software / firmware available?
2) Is there a place on the MyTouch that tells me what version is has?
Thanks so much in advance!
