Here is a 7-pin harness I got but mine didn't come with a mounting bracket. i see the new one does that I got from Superstition Ford Parts for I think $37 bucks.
The harness plugs into the fram rail on the drivers side of the spare. It also feeds the tail lights and has a split for a 7-pin and flat-4 plus a ground. Tow packages come with this harness.

They only came with the 7 pin connector and a 7 - 4 adapter in a bag.
Thanks!
My father in law's bracket is a little bent but not beyond repair. His 4 pin still works but his 7 pin is damaged and the cover is smashed.

Norm:
Your 2001 looks like it would use this harness which states:
Description: This 7-pin wiring harness assembly is made to plug into the factory wiring harness at the rear of your vehicle. The 7-pin design allows the use of trailers with electric brakes. Manufactured to rigid Ford wiring standards for years of trouble-free use. Includes a bracket for convenient attachment. Dealer installation recommended.
Iit comes with a bracket or at least states so in the description.
The one I showed was for an 06.

You'll get adequate cooling at speed, since it's extremely flat towing that you'll be doing.
But if you need to take a break to throw back a cold one for yourself, then by all means have at it

Jeremy thanks for the offer, but i went to temple this morning and snagged Paul's hitch out of his garage when he wasnt looking...
It pulled it fine, got a little warm at times and i cut the AC off for longer hills for more power a couple times felt like the trailer was a little tongue heavy and was pulling the truck around, Overall tho, very impressed with how the truck handled it (since Uhaul said it wasnt possible)
Unfortunatley we all have a little Jamz/Zaair in us
Ill post pics when i get back to waco.
