Just purchased a Cherokee Lite 28A+ (5750lbs dry)
Then I purchased an '04 Ford Expedition 5.4 V8 with 3.73 real axle ratio and Heavy Duty tow package.
Then I found out it did Not have the HD tow package. Sad
The dealer had the wrong information, after i called ford and ran the VIN and went to the dealer, i had to convince them by making them find a new vehicle that the papers said it had the HD package and have them see the difference under the hood.
So they upgraded my vehicle by installing the HD trans cooler and the radiators on the 04 and newer seem to all be HD.
So i thought i was done and just had to have the 7pin connector and braking computer installed for about $300.
Now my RV dealer's service guy tells me i also need a "tow package" which i think means the weight distribution package and a sway bar. Those items with the braking computer are $895. Some people are telling me this is very necessary others say its optional.
I was hoping to get some more feedback on it.
Thanks.
Oh, the expedition has a 8250 tow limit and the TT is about 31" long.
