Best Way to Check if a 2011 Ford Escape Limited Came with a Factory Towing Package
Question:
I have purchased part number 118251. I am unsure if my vehicle comes with the factory tow package or not, however I do know that it has the connector to match this part number under the driver side rear bumper. My question is will this part work on my vehicle if it does not have the factory tow package if I install the 3 relays part # TR38665. If not is there a way to tell if the vehicle is equipped with the factory tow package.

Expert Reply:
The way to check if your 2011 Ford Escape came equipped with the factory tow package is call your local dealership and provide them the VIN number.
The relays # TR38665 should work fine in conjunction with the Draw-Tite wiring harness, part # 118251 and would complete the tow package wiring on your Escape.
I always recommend using dielectric grease such as # 11755 as it combats corrosion from water damage.
I have included a couple installation videos and an FAQ for you too.
