Hi Greg. The factory website has been updated to reflect the new chassis:    "  Tow package with 2” receiver hitch and 6 pole trailer plug. S S S S S S",  (Standard on all models.)
    I also noted that the alternator is listed at 210 Amps.  That is almost 3 kilowatts !!            RonB


Oh my gosh, Ron, updated pricing as well. It’s a miracle!

Awesome, well,  not the new prices, but those increases were expected.

Love the new option:

Ford Driver-Assist Technology Package. (Package includes- automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, forward collision warning, post-impact braking, adaptive cruise control, distance alert and auto high beam control). Requires Ford Factory AM/FM Radio with Bluetooth, USB port and steering wheel mounted radio controls.

I have these features on my 2017 Ford Fusion, and glad to have them available on my 2022 TK.

Comparing the pricing between 2019 and 2021 (2020 model year was skipped), all model lengths increased in price by about $12K.  I’m assuming the huge jump is because of the new chassis.  Unfortunately, the driver assist package isn’t standard so is not reflected in the 2021 pricing.  That’s left me wondering how much the increase will be in 2022.  Any guesses?

When visiting with Todd in early March I asked him if the new chassis was the reason for the large price increase. He said that it was only part of it that they now have “several thousand dollars of new shipping charges”. He said that the company that they bought their windows and doors from were bought out and they now came from Texas and  the distributor that they got refrigerators and stoves from had relocated to Indiana. For many years there were other RV manufacturers in the LA area but they are the last one standing.

Hi Bob.  Some auxiliary brake controllers detect the brake lights. Left turn/brake and right turn brake are two of the 4 wires in that standard plug. Ground and running lights are the other two.   A charge line is good. If you only tow a few hours a day, the 'towed' battery may be able to provide the power needed, and some people run the 'towed' engine to charge the battery daily.
