No trailer hitch if you order front wheel drive only!

Morning,

I am one of the late people ordering my Maverick, but I ordered online, added the Trailer Hitch to my XLT Hybrid, Lux Package, Ford 360, Sun Roof, Rear Window. When I got to the dealer to sign the final papers and pay my deposit I was informed Ford will not allow you to add the hitch unless your order AWD. I thought the limitation was only for the 4K Towing Package had to be AWD. I will be visiting Uhaul once I get me truck next summer...

Hmm, this is new, if the dealer is correct. Somehow, I doubt they are correct.

Unfortunate, as the $100 to install it from the factory is quite a deal.

Seems like another case of misinformed or lazy salesperson.

4K towing package requires AWD but you can add the stand-alone hitch to FWD I have it on mine and it's being built.

I added the trailer hitch option to my hybrid order earlier this week. There was no issue doing it.

I just picked up my XLT with LUX package on it last night. It has the trailer hitch assembly as mentioned.

could be a weird way of them trying to get you a truck quicker. The Eco Boosters are rolling out and with your selected options, they could delay the truck even further on top of it already being a hybrid. Or like everyone else was saying just not a knowledgeable sales rep or maybe worse a stuck up truck snob?

Thanks for the replies, Yes I was not happy with they reduced the price of my order by the cost of the hitch.

Let's see if it comes with my Lux Package or not...

My hybrid just went into production yesterday with a trailer hitch on a FWD only.

yea, I think they just did not know what they were saying. I am looking at my build sheet and the hitch is listed.

My dealer was able to add the trailer hitch to my hybrid order last Friday without an issue. For a $100 it's a no brainer to have it.

Mine as well, but this doesn't answer the question of whether a change has taken place on what can be ordered now.

The mistake your dealer may have been making is trying to add the hitch to an order that already has the LUX package (which includes the hitch). If he was trying to do that, he would either get an error or a prompt that the LUX package would be removed.
