Adding factory trailer wiring to XL without tow package

As the title states, I want to add the factory 7 / 4 pin wiring to my 06 XL.

I recently got a hitch and I am hoping there is a decent plug and play factory wiring harness.

Anyone have any thoughts / part numbers? I have the late model 2006 (newer bumpers).

Thanks!

(PS I searched and only found threads about trucks already having tow packages and 4 pin harnesses, not any about ones without tow packages)

Does yours not have 4 pin.
Mine was non trailer tow and had 4 pin then I added a 7/4 pin connector

Honestly havent checked. In that case, will the 7 pin just plug into the existing wiring or will i need to run some custom wiring?

Plug right in
I did it at the same time I did my brake controller.
I forgot how much it was from Ford, but it wasn't too bad.

checked at lunch, sure enough, tucked under the bumper is a 4-pin connector. Anyone got the part number for the ford 7-pin or 7-pin / 4-pin?
