Terry,   You should check with the dealer about the charging wire.  Some makes do not have the battery charger plug wired up to the plug.

And make sure it is at least 10 gauge wire.

I'll check the plug with a voltmeter.  Thanks for the info.  It seems strange that they wouldn't hook up the wire when the plug is there.  But then stranger things have happened.

I'm working from memory, so for what it is worth.........
On my Chevy, all the wiring was there. I only had to buy and insert a 30 amp fuse in the appropriate slot in the fuse panel under the hood.

That's what we had to do with our 2000 F-150 when we started towing the Pod. Looks like a wonderful truck - enjoy! (My truck is jealous!)

Thanks everyone!Smile  I checked it, and I have power to the plug.  I guess the tow package took care of all that.
