VIN decoding & options/packages
Your looking for a 7 prong plug in addition to the 4. Most SSV Expy's were for law enforcement and municipalities so they weren't optioned out with HD tow packages. I think without the HD tow pkg you're tow rating is under 6000lbs so I would say NO. If you find another one you're...- RI-Matt

Sorry this Expy does NOT have the HD Tow Pkg. All the 2nd and 3rd Gen Expys have the same Class IV hitch and at least the 4 prong plug standard. When opting for the HD Tow the actual hitch doesnt change. Info is obtained from Fords site available to dealers and repair facilities. A...- RI-Matt

Installing trailer brake controller
Dave, sounds like you didn't have the factory HD Tow Package as it should have had the 7 pin connector and a special wiring harness to connect to an aftermarket brake controller. Also included from the factory was the relay and fuse for the trailer battery charge. The factory HD tow package...- RI-Matt

DRL issues
Texasgary, I think you are mis-understanding what the "auto" function is for. It is not designed to be DRL's. It is just designed to "automatically" turn on the lights when it gets dark out. True DRL's are on all the time. On the Expeditions that means the headlights, and only the headlights -...- RI-Matt

The HD tow pkg usually comes with the special trans cooler, HD radiator, Class IV hitch with 4 and 7 pin connectors, and wiring harness for brake controller, so if you have the package you have these items. If yours has a trailer brake unit installed ( usually mounted to the knee bolster) its...- RI-Matt

DRL issues
Please explain "When I have DRL's on" ??? Are you talking about the automatic headlights ? This are not the same as DRL. My 08 has the DRL and there is no "on/off" setting = no input by me, its controlled by the SJB. When the vehicle is in PARK the lights are off, as soon as I put it in DRIVE...- RI-Matt

Installing trailer brake controller
Here is a pic of the factory brake controller. It wasn't available until 2012, prior to that your only option was an aftermarket controller plugged in under the dash. I believe the factory one is tied into the message center and shows when a trailer is hooked up. Matt- RI-Matt

Newbie
I don't think a lift can be installed with rear air suspension. Also, you may run into problems with the grill guard too as the 2012 Limiteds have the front park assist sensors and may cause false readings with the guard install. Matt- RI-Matt

Remote Start.
Andrew_s, if you go with the Ford one-button remote start then its a "driveway" job as there are only about 5 wires that need to be spliced in. The rest is plug-n-play. You do need the PATS unit, but it can be programmed by you. Just make sure you order the remote start specifically for your...- RI-Matt

New trailer, I think I may need to upgrade
Are you sure it doesnt have the HD tow package, your original post is a bit confusing ( 7 pin is there ??? ) You can post you VIN and check to see if it has it, don't rely just on whether you see a big trans cooler or not. You are correct about the GCWR of 12100lbs if no HD tow but if you do...- RI-Matt
