    2006 4.6L V8 Eddie Bauer Towing Question

    Some great info, Thank you The guy who had the RAM1500 truck just sold it from under me, douchebag lol Anyway I am a believer that it wasn't meant to be and the gods are pointing me towards the Explorer.

    2006 4.6L V8 Eddie Bauer Towing Question

    I appreciate the words of wisdom. The truck is pretty big even with the Quad Cab. I am leaning more towards the explorer, we love our 2014 Edge. It has been super reliable. I noticed from you signature your 06 has quite a few miles on it. Have you found it to be reliable ?

    2006 4.6L V8 Eddie Bauer Towing Question

    There is a 7 pin trailer connector, it has a "Reese Towpower" cap on it. That did make me wonder if the hitch was added after the vehicle was delivered which started the investigation on whether or not it had a factory tow package installed. I do have a brake controller installed in our 2014...
