I’m trying to figure out if a retrofit for the build 1 2025 Mavericks is possible.
So far

Called the dealer parts department, said the feature “isn’t an accessory that could be added”.

Ford chat referred me to a “tech line”, which ended up with being transferred into a survey loop after trying 3 different departments. So no luck there.

I’m just trying to figure out the hardware delta between the two builds. I might try a service department and asking if they’ll compare wiring diagrams.
There’s no unplugged connector that I can see on the back panel. Or a spot for a module to sit. Does anyone know if the pro trailer backup assist is a separate module?

At the very least it has a different rear camera and tailgate handle, different lower dashboard and I'm sure it has some added modules, maybe sensors, etc.

Seeing how a simple rear camera change disables rear view guide lines until it gets reprogrammed into the computer, I would NOT try to add that whole system

I ordered my truck late to be sure it would be job 2 and have PTA, I've been towing quite a bit lately and I haven't even used it. I'd appreciate good add-on towing mirrors 100x more ...

I think the tailgate is different sheet metal. I you look at them you can see the plastic, for handle and camera, is much larger and goes all the way to the top of the tailgate.
