I'm hopeful you are correct that the Demco will be less damaging, but I want to see an installation in detail first. The website is still asking for a volunteer guinee pig. Looking to tow my '25 Lariat in early June.

We were the guinea pig. Spent 4 days from March 31 at Demco while they made the template, fabricated the tow base, tested it and installed. They just have not updated the website yet. They only removed one plastic shutter frame and the plastic louvers. We have posted several pictures in this forum.

I figured that those louvers would be in the way. My guess is the radiator behind those lower louvers is the supplemental cooling for the transmission, part of the 4K towing package.

We don’t have 4k towing. The louvers were a tight fit so were removed as a precaution.

I'm still wondering about the 4K Pkg and if it will require more cannibalizing of the shutter or fascia.

You were also having issues with the Rear Lights not working correct after Demco installed the system, Has this been resolved ? what was the Fix ?

the issue was in the RV 7pin Everything from DEMCO worked fine as we ran through all the troubleshooting. All fixed now.
