Hi everybody,
I am currently looking for a 02-05 Explorer 2wd V8 with a factory towing package.
I have noticed there seem to be very few in this area (Montgomery, AL.).
So I’m doing some shopping online and can’t run over and look at them without making a day of it.
I’ve also noticed that some dealers will advertise that it has a tow package when I’m pretty sure it doesn’t.
I’ve also looked through this entire towing section and have learned a lot.
I just want to make sure I’ve got this right.
If a V8 02-05 has a factory 2” receiver does it absolutely have a factory tow package?
If it has a 2” receiver AND the 7 pin harness does it absolutely have a factory tow package?
Are there any definite things I can look for, without having the truck available, to be sure it has a towing package?
Thanks for any help.
