Desrtrat Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 (edited) I ordered a new F350 c/c and chose all the towing and trailer options. Can anyone tell me if they put the camera plug (12 pin) in the bed of the truck also? Also why do most of the features not work or help with either a 5th wheel or gooseneck trailer? I would think since most, if not all, are purchased for towing purposes. They could do more to include all types of trailers?

twintornados Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 (edited) So, you ordered the truck and now have questions...did you ask the dealer? They should know the answers.... Edited June 25, 2017 by twintornados Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desrtrat Posted June 25, 2017 Author Share Posted June 25, 2017 (edited) Yes, I asked them repeatedly. Unfortunately I have found more information here than what they knew! I've asked other sales people including managers. I was told they didn't know or will find out. Then get mixed answers.

Severe oversight by Ford IMO. There are some options out there, and if you look here, you will find folks that have used an adapter to put a connection in the bed. As far as the features towing fivers and goosenecks, it's just a matter of the tail lights being blocked by the trailer you are towing.

A good source of information would then be the dealer of the fifth wheeler you are buying.....I hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordmantpw Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 . A good source of information would then be the dealer of the fifth wheeler you are buying.....I hope. The fifth wheel dealer will know very little about the fifth wheel he's selling, and zero about the Ford trucks. It's amazing how little (most) sales people know about the product they sell.
