How did it go?

I had wireless charging on my last Ford, a 19 Transit Connect, and it was virtually useless but mostly because it was installed at an angle and in a space that was longer than most phones so it was always disconnecting. I like that the Ranger has a flat space for it but honestly don't need it...

This is all great news in a way. Glad to know I’m not missing anything

Anyone end up doing this with their XL? Or is the harness missing?

That's the ticket! Wish we could still have the nice things.

Well there you go. That trans is not meant for any of the work that van was designed for. I honestly prefer the utility of a van over a truck, but it is even harder to find ones with family capacity and any kind of off-road or snow utility. I am in the northeast where that matters. My little...

I, too, jumped prematurely from a Transit Connect Wagon that uses the same trans as the Mavericks - the 8F35. Loved that thing for every day in-town living but it was woefully under-equipped for adventures, had like 6" of ground clearance and the trans always had me so nervous. It felt like it...

That's a fantastic price. Well done. My 24 stx had no tow package or locker but yes rims, running boards, sprayed bed for 34. In Maine that was the best I could do. Still bumming it doesn't have wiring to get a TBC going, but I will solve that eventually. The amount of tech that is in these...

What is the additional brake putting? Did your STX come with a basic tow package or did you have to add your hitch and 7 pin harness?

Well how about that. Thanks for getting that info. So we have the Ranger runts. I guess there is always a way to get these wired up, but hopefully not in a legally dubious manner. Is your son not concerned about eventual towing?

Sounds good, I am quite curious. And if so, I am wondering if these outliers have any real options.

Looks like you got it. I am the lone star here with an STX no tow package and no gray plug. Literally the worst combo.

Does your STX have the gray plug by the firewall in the cab?

I like your method of getting the Curt harness installed, but don't like losing the 4 pin in the process. You said you were going to get the 4/7 pin plug from Ford and see if it plugs and plays with the Curt harness? Did you end up getting that done?

"Isn't even an option" tells me the main harness is somehow different. Otherwise we are looking literally the same frame and drivetrain. It comes down to wiring. Makes sense that if XLTs have the bumper sensors, that plays into a difference in harnesses. So for those people ordering XLs WITH...

Thanks. I might be in a unique little subgroup, in that I bought a 24 STX with no tow package and I have no gray connector in the cab. Hard to imagine they took the time wire up a dissimilar core wiring platform for a small subset of models but here I am. Other XL owners on here report having...

So to be clear, you had no 7pin at all and you ordered R1WZ 15k868 C which is labeled as the parking sensor harness bundle and it had everything needed? You also ordered the OEM 4/7 plug and cut into your bumper fascia to install? And was this gray plug up front always present on your unit or...

Looking more closely at your photo against what I have, I do not have that grey plug. This is incredibly discouraging. I have some poor reference photos from kickplate region and rear bumper wiring as well, wondering if I am essentially bricked to 3000lbs with my STX. Even though you can't...

Thanks for the clarifications! I have info from another thread whereby a Ranger owner who works in parts at a dealership successfully addressed this issue on a Bronco whereby they installed a TRM, harness, dash switch and used internal Ford programming to good success, which makes me think that...

So did you ever find a dealer willing to pop in a TRM and flash it? I am pretty sure they are available, but the question is more about supported wiring, or if the no-tow uses a different harness assembly than the others?
