Curt Trailer Wiring vs Ford OEM

[TNFurb]

Are you sure you have to have the factory wiring to get the sway control? On my BSOB I do not have the factory towing and have yet to install any aftermarket hitch or wiring, but the sway control setting is available to me on my infotainment screen and I can turn it on and off. I thought the sway control didnt have anything to do with the wiring and it was basically all sensors that are already on the vehicle??? I could be wrong.

With the factory installed system sway control is automatically enabled when a trailer is connected. I believe that's the difference. The system will also notify you if there are trailer lights burnt, also it will automatically disable blis. I do believe that is only the factory installed system. The dealership installed option does not do this and neither do aftermarket solutions. Im looking into what would need to be done or if its possible to add that functionality but i haven't found anything yet. It may not be worth it.

According to the Owners Manual for my 22 Badlands it states this:

As you can see at the bottom it states that you can switch the feature off in the information display and it turns back on automatically when you start the vehicle. I do not have the factory wiring or hitch, I added the curt harness and a hitch. I have seen the option and am able to turn it on/off.
