Look at the light bar thread on this forum, an oil cooler was installed that worked and the Ford part number is listed. Currently it is on the first page.
Bought a brand new 2018 fx4 4x4 last year thinking they all came with the trailer tow package. After going through the forums on here I'm convinced that I do not have a trailer package at all. Could someone with more knowledge look at the window sticker and let me know what tow option code I have( standard or 53b). I know it's not 53a or 53c.
Thanks in advance.
You have:
53B Hitch Package - Medium Duty Tow (It is referred to differently in different Ford Resources)
It is is standard on that Trim Level.
It includes:
Engine Oil Cooler (Standard on all 3.5EB)
Liquid-to-Liquid "Super Duty" Trans Cooler (Standard with 10R80 Trans)
Max Engine Cooling - Radiator (Incl. w/ 53A, 53B and 53C)
Max Cooling - Fan (Incl. w/ 53A, 53B and 53C)
Class IV Hitch w/ 4 and 7-Pin Wiring
Your Tow Rating is 7000 lb.
No reduced GCWR is available for this combo.
So it appears as long as you keep the truck under 7000 GVWR, the hitch under 1160 lb (w/ WDH, and the trailer under 7000 (w/WDH) your good.
I have a similar truck.
Edit: Above responses are 2018 specific to specific model, engine, drivetrain and options.
See 2018 Ford Trailer Towing Guide for reference.
You will find Ford is not particularly good at editing their references (old footnotes about 5000 lb max still exist) but other footnotes added in 18 raise that to 7000 lb and Commercial References and Vehicles that come standard with 53B (F150 Pursuit - 53B Standard - Standard Towing 7000 lb) make it abundantly clear 7000 lb is the correct rating.
