Adding a 7-Way Trailer Connector to a 2017 Ford Expedition with Factory 4-Way
Question:
Is there a plug and play solution to add a 7 way to my factory 4 way connector? Under the truck I see there is a terminated wire that is labeled electric brake. My truck is a 2017 Expedition EL with a factory tow but not the HD factory tow package.

In order to add a 7-Way trailer connector to your 2017 Ford Expedition you will need to use # ETBC7. There isn't a plug and play type of harness to add a 7-Way to your Expedition. I have included some links that show and explain the ETBC7 installation for you.
If you are also looking for a brake controller I recommend the P2 # 90885 because it is easy to set up and use and it is reliable.
