Question:
I have a 2011 Ranger [Canadian spec] 4L auto.with a factory hitch and 4way. Do I have a plugin spot for a brake controller like larger pickups have under the dash area?

Expert Reply:
None of the 2011 Ford Ranger models came equipped with a factory brake controller port located under the dash. To install a brake controller on your 2011 Ford Ranger Canadian Spec, you would need to use the Brake Controller 7 and 4 way Installation Kit, part # ETBC7.
I have linked a video installation of a brake controller being installed on a 2006 Ford Ranger, which also uses the Brake Controller 7 and 4 way Installation Kit, part # ETBC7. Also linked are FAQ articles on brake controllers and installation.
