Does the hitch mount LED do brake light as well as running light and reverse?
For the ditch light kit - is there going to be a slight gap between the seal/fender when pushing the seal back in as the bracket has to come up through that space?
So are the fogs just T-tapped into the low beam wire and that’s it?

This kit uses our C1 HitchMount LED Pod.
The C1R only works with Maverick trucks equipped with the factory tow package.
The C1 HitchMount Kit is plug-and-play with our in-line tail lamp adaptor and provides a red running light with a white high-power reverse light.
The t-tap is for the low beam signal. There is more to the kit than simple t-taps.

But the C1R doesn't have a plug and play harness for the Maverick to address the trailer package issues that can arise right (know this was an issue on Maverick and F series trucks)? Admittedly I've been a little confused by some of the answers and info I've seen in this area. I was interested in the C1R bc my RTT blocks my third brake light but assume it still has to be T tapped to the taillight to get around the trailer detection issues?

It seems like the C1R taps the rear tail lights so it doesn't use the trailer plugs. I'm guessing that's also why it's only a running light and reverse light and not a brake light which would be on another plug on the taillight assembly. Wish it would do all three.
Here's what DD said when I asked before the Maverick kit came out:
We have seen some Mavericks have the same trailer detection issues that the F-150s have. I recommend getting the F-150 kit, as it will come with the universal wire tap to go to the tail light wire. It will need to be T-Tapped in, but this is the best way to get rid of the trailer detection issues with the C1R. The standard C1 will function fine without this, as it does not have the brake light function.
The C1R for the F150 looked like it both tapped the taillight and had a 7 pin harness. It's been awhile so I may be off base. I would only be buying if it could add a brake light without messing up the trailer detection.

To be clear for confused users,
The C1R LED pod is not compatible with the XL, XLT, Lariat, and Tremor as it draws too much power.
The C1R is compatible with models with the Add-On 4K Tow Package that comes with a 7-pin connector from the factory.
C1 Kit Functions:
Red Running Light
White High-Power Reverse

I like the style and molded inward design for the fogs. This is exactly what I was looking for over the last year or two. I will rework the wiring though so that I control when the fogs are on and off, regardless of the low versus high beam position. I do this on all my cars.
I like the tow hitch light but will pass. I keep my hitch installed and mounted using the special brackets to eliminate any hitch movement to prevent any clunking when towing. Plus keeping a rear hitch mounted has prevented my cars from getting any rear damage in the past from light rear end hits.

So if it just plugs into the 7 pin connector was there a reason it doesn't do a brake light as well? I really was hoping for something that would do brake light and reverse.To be clear for confused users,
The HitchMount Reverse Kit is ONLY offered with our C1 HitchMount LED Pod.
The C1R LED pod is not compatible with the XL, XLT, Lariat, and Tremor as it draws too much power.

There must be confusion...
The C1 HitchMount Kit included the following functions:
- Red Accent Light (Backlight)
- White Mainbeam
This kit obtains power using a custom in-line adaptor to the tail lights.
There is NOT a C1R option, the red 4th brake light draws to much power according to our engineering team.
The ONLY Maverick model that can handle the C1R is users that have a 7-pin tow package from Ford directly.
Okay...somewhat of a let down...announced but not yet in production since shipping isn't until March. Somewhat like GM constantly announcing new models that take 1 1/2 years before they even hit the assembly line. At least this is only 1.5 months.

I purchased a kit for my Mav. What’s 1.5 months when I waited a year for the truck? This will be the 4th or 5th time the bumper will have been off of my truck. I’m getting quick at it now. lol
