Ford has one in the accessory catalog for $110, see part number FT1Z-15A416-A. I picked one up from my local dealer the other day, just waiting for my hitch to come in so I can have them both installed together.

I grabbed the FT1Z-15A416-A part on eBay for about $75. It has a reasonable return window, in case it isn't real.

Are there that many different types/version?????

I received my wiring kit. There were no instructions, the box points to the dealer only portal. I am sure that I can get it with the brief description on the label; would prefer to see the correct ones. Idid find an older set for Escape.

Did you get the harness installed yet? I got mine in today, hopefully I’ll get a chance to install it this weekend

I had mine installed at the dealer last week. The tech said it took a little over 2 hours.

How much was the install? where did the route the connector to?

They charged me $280 total. They tucked the 4-pin connector up against the receiver tube. Not much slack in it though, so I have to use an extension in order for my trailer connector to reach.

I checked with 3 dealerships near me and none of them have done a Bronco, they want to change 7+ hours.....a little over $900! That’s why I’m planning on doing it myself.

The dealer I went to said the same thing, they wouldn't give me an exact quote but said it could take a day or more. I decided to take my chances and thankfully it ended up only being 2 hours labor.

I haven't done it yet. I am till waiting to get answers on 'Towing Mode'. I will likely install it regardless, if it creates issues for light duty hitch use; I am not apposed to adding an inductive interface later. The install won't be bad for me, I installed mobile phones way back when. They required connecting to the horn and battery, the center console, a box in the trunk, and an antenna mounted in the center of the roof. We'd do 10 a day including brand new Benz'.

FYI mine doesn't seem to have any sort of towing mode added. No prompts on the dash or center screen when lights are connected, and nothing feels different while driving.

Uhaul just posted a video on youtube on how to wire the Bronco Sport wiring harness, well theirs in this case. Don’t like how they route the power...
