Does anyone know for sure what's included in the factory towing package . I'm wondering if I need to add a transmission cooler ? Ford doesn't appear to state anywhere if it includes any additional cooling . I didn't purchase the factory option . My manual says my 2009 Escape V6 is capable of towing 3500lbs. I also would like to install a class 3 hitch although I'll never be towing more that 2000 lbs. There are accessories available for the Class 3 that I already have . My concern is if the higher rated hitch could cause any warranty issues for the transmission , especially with the history of the 6f35 .
All Escapes have a cooler, tow pack or not.
My opinion on installing a Class-III hitch is that you leave yourself open to a dealer suggesting that you may have towed over #3500. The OEM is Class-II but nobody makes a Class-II bike rack for some reason. Hybrid owne
I just went through this with my 2004 V6 Escape, which came without the factory towing package. Here is what I have found from reading other posts, and reviewing the factory literature and the factory service manuals:
1) The from-the-Factory towing package includes the following- a Class II (350/3500 lb) hitch, a 4-pin wiring harness, a towing flasher, and an engine oil cooler/associated coolant piping. (This is not a typical oil cooler that circulates engine oil through a small radiator mounted behind the grill. Rather, it circulates engine coolant through a radiator plate sandwiched between the block and the engine oil filter). The hitch itself is welded on at the factory, rather than bolted on, and is thus not removable (see below).
2) A Factory add-on complete towing package is dealer-available for about $500 list. It includes a bolt-on version of the Factory Class II hitch, a 4-pin wiring harness, a towing-capable turn signal flasher, and the Factory oil cooler/piping.
3) The Factory 4-pin wiring harness is dealer-available separately for about $15. But using it requires buying a Factory towing flasher - about $50. The connector for this Factory harness is under the bottom rear left rear interior trim panel lip. It can be reached (harness can be installed) without removing the trim panel, with a bit of work and a flashlight. You must however remove the rear hatch opening lower plastic trim plate (pops off). The harness itself is easy to snake through the existing grommet opening for it, which lives in the rear floor panel behind the spare tire well. (Non-harness grommet pops right out).
4) The Factory turn signal flasher connector (standard or towing) is a dual five-blade affair. The flasher unit itself lives behind the lower lip of the dash to the far left - right in back of the instrument cluster illumination switch.
5) The oil cooler and piping can also be purchased separately from a dealer(which I did). The cooler is $200, and the piping (listed as a combined unit, has two pipes and three hoses with clamps) is $130. There is no cooler/piping combo available from the dealer, you have to pay (through the nose) for the two separate components.
6) I chose not to buy the Factory towing add-on package because I wanted a class III (500/5000 pound) hitch with a 2 inch receiver box. I installed the aftermarket Draw-tite model - costs $110, and comes with a hitch bar. (This hitch can also be installed below the from-the-factory hitch unit. Looks a bit funny, but works fine and gives you a two inch receiver).
7) An aftermarket hitch can be installed without the Factory oil cooler set-up, but it limits warranty-covered towing capability to 2000 pounds rather than 3500.
Aftermarket 4-pin wiring harnesses are also available for about $25, but you need to get a unit that has the module that connects to the rear lights and converts separate brake and turn signals to a combined trailer signal. Doing so allows you to get away without buying the factory flasher.
9) Note that the Factory oil cooler for towing is an engine oil cooler. All Escapes come with a transmission oil external cooler, in addition to the standard cooling unit in the radiator. There are aftermarket engine oil coolers that could be adapted. But I bet the dealer would say they void the engine warranty for towing more than 2000 pounds. That is why I spent $330 to get the factory cooler setup (without the Factory add-on class II hitch).
In summary, I installed the following:
Draw-tite class III hitch ($110)
Factory harness/towing flasher ($65)
Factory engine oil cooler/piping ($330)
Total = $505 (but gives me warranty-certified 3500 pound towing capacity)
Cost of Factory add on kit = $500 (but would only give me a class II hitch)
(It also helps that I can buy the dealer stuff from my local dealer at a 20% discount. But it still was a wash for me - factory add on versus getting a class III hitch. You can buy the factory stuff at a 20% discount over the Internet, but you have to pay shipping. Many local dealers will give a 10-20% discount on large purchases such as this. But you have to ask).
Hope this helps someone....
