Video Transcript for Redarc Tow-Pro Trailer Brake Controller Plug-and-Play Wiring Harness Review

Brad Hello neighbors. It's Brad here at etrailer. And today we're taking a look at the vehicle-specific wiring harness, that will work in conjunction with the Tow-Pro Elite electric trailer brake controller. These harnesses are going to be great to work with your Tow-Pro Elite in a variety of different trucks and SUVs. Now, make sure that you get your vehicle-specific harness. You're going to want to use our fit guide on "etrailer.com", and that's going to make sure that you get the right harness, and that way your install goes nice and easy.

Included in the REDARC kit, you will find this plugin adapter, and this is going to have these spliced ends, and you're gonna have to tie into your brake signal, your brake output, your power output and your ground. Now, if you are pretty handy with electrical, that's awesome. That's great. You can use this. But I'm the kind of person, plug and play in OEM kind of setup or really nice factory one like this.

This is the vehicle-specific harness. So this ties in directly to our factory tow system, and clips right in, it's got this nice braided sheathing on it, to kind of protect the wires, and then it plugs directly into our module here. So, to save yourself a little bit of headache and time, and make the install go that much smoother, and not have to worry about loose connections, I highly recommend getting the vehicle-specific harness. So this end of the plug is specific to your vehicle. As you can tell, it looks like the factory plug, it fits in perfect, has the locking mechanism, so you aren't gonna have to worry about loose connections happening with your plug, and it's going to make install a lot easier.

And that was a look at the vehicle-specific harness for the Tow-Pro Elite electric trailer brake controller..

Very low profile mount on the dash. Controller sensitivity very good for proportional braking and adjusting trailer response.

Worked great and was the easiest install ever. Cord had plenty of length to move around and find the best location for the TowPro controller.

Makes installation easy - on my 99 Ford Expedition I needed to add breakers to my fuse block

Installation as easy as it gets.



by:

Made installation a snap! No splicing just plug and play



by:

Great looking product. Just installed it, will see how it preforms next week. I wanted a brake controller that I could make look like factory OEM. This was it. The reverse parking assist does not work on my truck, so I repurposed that spot in the dash for the brake controller.



by:
2020 Ford Explorer

This is the only brake controller you should buy. It's not ugly, it works well, and on many cars you can get a plug and play wiring harness. I installed one in my 2020 Explorer in about 30 minutes.



by:

Made install a breeze!



by:

The product worked as it was described.
It
is a very good Trailer Brake Controller.
The 4 various functions / modes make the controller very versatile.
Would recommend this controller for anyone pulling a trailer.



by:
2004 Ford F-350 Super Duty

Installed onto a 2004 F-350 Super Duty, the factory connection made this a very simple install.
I spent more time trying to decide where I wanted the on dash controller.
So far I like the low profile look of the controller, now I just need to get my trailer to really test it out.



by:

if you are installing an aftermarket trailer brake controller in a late Ford truck, this harness is a must!

No complaints from my customer so I assume all is well. Ive installed several of these with no issues whatsoever.



by:
2013 Ford Explorer

Install was easy and works as expected. Purchased the connector adaptor so I didn’t have to cut any wires.

Only thing I found an issue is when you push in the button to engage the brakes sometimes it doesn’t push in all the way. It might have been how I installed it in the car panel but not a huge problem.



by:
2007 Ford Expedition

perfect for my vehicle. 5 minute install



by:

it was very easy to install very happy with it



by:

Was easy to install and seems to work g reat.



by:
1999 Ford F-150

Viewing the pictures I purchased this for a 99 f150. Not on the list of vehicles it fits. It is a plug and play. No issues at all. Hope it helps others trying to find the correct harness.



by:

Controller was very easy to install. Remote adjuster was just as easy with a minimum of tools and skill. Special thanks to Peyton for helping me out with the re-order.



by:

Works great! Definitely recommend to anyone that wants something less invasive.



by:

A must for the brake controller



by:
2000 Ford F-250 Super Duty

Worked great on my 2000 F-250. Did had a hard time to get the plug in to the factory plug but once it was in it was good!



by:
2002 Ford F-350 Super Duty

The adapter was perfect for my 2002 F350 Superduty to allow me to utilize the factory trailer controller wiring.



by:

The harness made the installation very easy and professional.

Makes for a clean install of the Redarc controller.

  • Recommended Brake Controller and Plug In Adapter for a 2021 Ford Explorer w/ Factory 7-Way
    I would be happy to help you. On your 2021 Ford Explorer the connector is located under the dash, above and to the right of where the driver's right knee would be. The connector will be rectangle, grey in color, and can sometimes be taped to another plug concealing it. It won't be plugged into something else. Since your Explorer has a factory 7-Way you will be able to use the Plug-and-Play Wiring Harness for Redarc Tow-Pro Trailer Brake Controllers item # RED87FR to have a plug and play...

  • Recommended Trailer Wiring And Brake Controller For A 2023 Ford Explorer XLT
    Hey Aaron, If your 2023 Ford Explorer XLT has a factory tow package connector back at the rear of the vehicle then you can use the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C55664. If you don't have a factory tow package connector then you'll first need to install the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56093. This has connectors that will plug into your tail light wiring and will have one wire to run up to the battery for power. Once installed...

  • Adding A Trailer Brake Controller To A 2022 Ford Explorer
    For your 2022 Ford Explorer, I recommend the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite # RED44FR. This brake controller will provide the sleekest finish and simplest to use interface. When installed, only the control knob is left exposed keeping your interior looking clean. If not present already, you're going to need a 4 flat trailer connector, and a 7 way trailer connector. To add a 4 flat, I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness With 4-Flat # 118599. This harness will simply plug into your factory...

  • Differences Between the Redarc Tow Pro Liberty and Tow Pro Elite
    Kevin, so the difference between the Redarc Tow Pro Liberty # RED96CR and the Tow Pro Elite # RED54CR (with the custom harness # RED87FR) is that the Tow Pro Elite has a user controlled mode for off-roading, can be used with 24v systems, will work with up to 3 axles, and includes the switch insert # 331-TPSI-001 with the universal harness. Other than that, they are the same. So if you feel like you'll need any of the features listed for the Elite, then I'd go for that; but if you can...

  • Parts Needed For Towing a 2023 Coleman 17B Travel Trailer With a 2022 Ford Explorer
    I recommend the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution # FA92-00-0800 for your 2022/2023 Coleman 17B travel trailer. This hitch is rated for a tongue weight of 400-800lbs and a maximum trailer weight of 8,000lbs. With a dry tongue weight of 385lbs by the time they add a 40-50lb battery and the 20lbs of propane you are already up to 450lbs before you add any gear to your trailer. This hitch will help to level your 2022 Ford Explorer as well as reduce trailer sway that is caused by wind on the highway....

  • Parts Needed to Install Redarc Brake Controller in 2008 Ford E-350
    Since your 2008 Ford E-350 has a factory 7-way all you would need to install a brake controller like the Redarc Tow Pro Liberty part # RED24FR is the install harness part # RED87FR. I also really like the Redarc controllers for the reason you mentioned as it only puts a very small knob on the dash of the vehicle and because the controller uses an inertia sensor to decide how hard to apply the trailer brakes. The Liberty is the way to go too since you get that style of controller without...

  • 7-Way Trailer Connector and Brake Controller for 2017 Ford Explorer
    According to the folks at Tekonsha, you'll want to use the # 118272 7-way connector that you'd looked at. The harness is compatible with all models of the 2017 Ford Explorer, but you might need to install some fuses in the fuse box under the hood and in the passenger compartment if they're missing in order to fully activate the tow package. For the 12-v power feed to the trailer connector, you'll need to install a 30A fuse in location 27 and a relay in location 37, if there isn't one there...

    For your 2018 Ford Explorer XLT with a factory 7-way, the plug-n-play harness you need is the # RED87FR.

  • 7-Way Vehicle Wiring Harness For a 2018 Ford Explorer To Connect To Draw-Tite Receiver # 76034
    Since you intend to one day pull a travel trailer I recommend the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 7-Way Trailer Connector # 118272 on your 2018 Ford Explorer. The travel trailer will likely require a brake controller due to the weight of the trailer. For a brake controller you will need a 7-way connection. The Mounting Bracket # PK12711U will allow you to attach the 7-way connector to the mounting plate on the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76034. Since the...

  • Dash Mounted Control Knob Trailer Brake Controller For a 2019 Ford Explorer XLT
    I recommend the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller # RED24FR for your 2019 Ford Explorer. This is our smallest control knob style brake controller. If you have the tow package with 7-way you will only need the Plug-and-Play Wiring Harness # RED87FR. Otherwise you will need a Installation Kit # ETBC7 with Harness # RED69FR to connect to the Redarc to Explorer with a 4-way flat.

  • Is Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Brake Controller Good for Mountains in 2017 Ford F-53
    A time-delayed controller is often best for mountains but a pain everywhere else, but you can have the best of both worlds with the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Brake Controller # RED44FR. This is definitely the best option because the Elite has a knob which allows you to set the amount of braking power you need - which will be more in the mountains and less on flat surfaces - and pressing that knob also activates the manual override should you need it. So the Elite is by far the best controller...

  • Recommended Parts for 2004 Ford E250 5.4 V8 Towing Trailer
    You have the basics covered with the brake controller and tow mirrors but I would also recommend a transmission cooler like part # D13503 with the adapter part # D13024 and # D13014. This is going to do a great job prolonging the life of your transmission as heat is the number one killer of them and towing creates quite a bit of heat. Then to install the Redarc Tow Pro Elite part # RED44FR you'd just need the install harness part # RED87FR and for tow mirrors the custom install set # CTM2500...
