Hello, I was ordering a 2022 max 4x4 with HD tow package and was pushed up from XLT into a limited Because "The Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package (536) is not available on MAX 4x4 (K1J)". Anyone have a guess or know the reason as to why that specific configuration is excluded from the Heavy duty trailer package? A little frustrating to get priced bumped for a reason that is not apparent to me.

Thanks.

That's odd... according to the order guide, 536 should be available as an option on every configuration. Is there a possibility that your dealer is mistaken?

I looked at the 2022 Expedition ordering guide on another web site, and the HD tow package is specifically listed as not available on the Expedition XLT Max 4x4. It doesn’t state why.

Yes I am sure. 1 post below your's 99whiteC5coupe conveniently posted a screenshot of the order guide displaying the exclusion. I am hoping when they open the public website that they will specify why, but I doubt it.

Going to side with the profit comment earlier. Ordered a platinum with that package and got a higher priority code than others.
As Ford moves toward this tesla model of retail orders they are probably pushing to higher packages and make a larger run.

Dumb question, what is this priority code you speak of? I placed my order 10/19 and do not recall seeing anything come through about priority.

Edit* nevermind I just realized it's on the dealer printout, not something Ford calculates and sends separate. Mine is 19, so that blows .

Sorry, yeah, I missed the note: "Note: The Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package (536) is not available on MAX 4x4 (K1J)"; that's an oddly specific exclusion.

Most dealers will update your order code if you ask. Order Code 19 is populated by default and Order Code 10 is the best for retail orders. I just went through this with my 2022 F350 order. Also keep in mind that the order code only changes the priority of orders entered from your dealer.
