That is easy. There was never a tow package available.



Stock, the Trac came with a 4 pin narness in the back and an auxilery tranny cooler, but there was not a tow package.

I've got an '01, and it came with the tranny cooler, the wiring harness, and a 2" reciever. Isn't that a tow package?

Does anyone have the 2001 PDF that shows the available colors and options for a model year? I remember a package when I ordered in March 2000 that called out heavy rate springs.

As far as I know, on Tracs a receiver hitch was never installed at the factory. Did not see one on the '05 options list. But I could be wrong. A hitch could be a dealer-installed accessory or added later. I had two late-model Rangers previously, one with the factory "Tow Package", which consisted only of a receiver hitch. Both had a 4-pin connector standard. Auxilary tranny cooler is standard with an automatic.

Nope.



The wiring harness and the tranny cooler are equipped on every Sport Trac made. The hitch was installed by someone before you got it. It never came from the factory that way.

On page 6 of the 2001 Sport Trac Press Kit there was an option for payload packages.

OK. Does it show a towing package?

You are correct. There never was an option package titled "towing package". The trailer wiring was standard and the ball mount on the bumper was standard. There was no option for a 2" receiver from the factory. If there was a 2" receiver then it was dealer installed as previously stated.
