I had one fitted a couple of years back by ford. Then the cost was around $1k. But you can get it much cheaper not going through ford. I went through ford for warranty.

I had one fitted to our wagon when we bought our car 6 months ago and i think they said it was $465. I know it was definitely under $ 500

Punch in tossa into google (I know, I know). They come on site and fit it. You need to get a special module fitted as well otherwise the rear parking sensors can play up.
I'm getting mine fitted at Ford and it's about $1k. Have to get it done at Ford as I lease and can't do it after the fact.

got a quote on a new MC Titanium with 1600 kg towbar. Knox Ford quoted $1031 for Ford bar whereas Leaseplan quoted $760 for a Hayman Reece. Ford thought the HR bar did not have the loom but when they checked it did. Ford then changed the price to $770 for the HR bar. It is the tongue type and not demountable without removing the bottom two bolts.
