When talking about anti-sway hitch and weight distribution hitch are these things that come with a tow pkg or do you add them later? Sorry, I am really green when it comes to this.
There are a # of engine choices:
2.7L EcoBoost (8,500 lbs. of maximum towing)
5L Ti-VCT FFV V6 (Tow rating of up to 7,600 lbs.)
3.5L EcoBoost (12,200-lb. maximum tow rating with a 10-speed transmission)
5.0L Ti-VCT V8
The anti-sway and weight dist. are part of the hitch system you must add.
Happy towing!
