How to tell if a Maverick has the tow package?

[TaylorHu]

There's a used Maverick near-ish to me, about 90 minutes away, that's actually reasonably priced. It does have the FX4 package, and it has a hitch, but the listing doesn't specifically mention if it has the tow package or not. Is there any real way to tell visually (there are a decent amount of pictures) or some other easy way to tell if it has it or not before I drive all the way out there?

Check if it has the four pin connector or the seven pin connector next to the hitch.

The 4K tow package has the seven pin connector because of the trailer brake controller. All other ones with the hitch have the four pin connector.

You can also see if it has the trailer brake controller in the cab near the headlight switch.

2000 lb tow package: 4-pin wiring harness next to the hitch, no trailer brake controler

4000 lb tow package: 7-pin wiring harness next to the hitch, trailer brake controller with controls near the headlight switch

You can also check the window sticker if available.

Only FX4 or Tremor have front hooks.

Fx4 is the only package with tow hooks.

Ccan someone add the factory trailer brake? I know there is aftermarket ones but they look terrible.

theoretically. People have added cruise control. You'd have to be really dedicated & skilled.
