So my Ford of Europe OEM-supplied tow bar kit (actually made by aKeep posting and add photos for this valjable addition.
I'll break down the current pricing here, for common knowledge, without VAT. I used today's currency conversion rates to arrive at these USD prices. BTW - all three components are necessary and need each other to safely work together:
- tow bar frame, tow neck and associated ironware = $419.
- tow bar wiring harness which plugs-and-plays with the MME electronics, the tow bar control module, the power supply and the trailer plug = $62.
- tow bar electronic module which interacts with the MME electronics: $99.
- DHL air freight (Tuesday send, Friday arrival (we shall see...) = $320. Sea shipment was possible and could have been cheaper, but I just chose air freight.
NOTE: because Europe is Europe, every country additionally prices in a Value Added Tax (VAT). I subtracted the VAT as its level will depend on the country of purchase. In my case, it was an additional 23% to the prices listed here (brrr... oh well). There might be ways around the VAT, for example purchases by U.S. active duty military stationed in Europe, but... taxes mean civilization, right? ;-)
Once all the stuff arrives and life gives me the space to play, I'll send further info and pix on the installation. I intend to self-install.
Relevant resource info, such as links to installation videos and to the manufacturer's web page, as well as English instruction PDFs, are already attached in the thread above.
