2006 explorer Eddie Bauer
I just installed a 2” receiver on my 2006 Eddie Bauer it had the dinky 1.25”. My question is I read somewhere that all the Eddie Bauers had the tow package. I do have an external trans cooler if it was added aftermarket I’m not sure. I know all v8 had the same gear ratio. So being I installed the 2” receiver and have an external trans cooler I should be ok to tow over the 3,500 that the 1.25” receiver caps you at?

My V8 Mountaineer has the tow package and it includes a smallish trans cooler mounted on the AC condenser which is in front of the radiator. I believe that another way to tell if the towing package was included from the factory is it will have the upgraded seven pin connector installed.
