Question:

Hi. I have a 1999 Ford E150 Van that Im putting a Class IV tow kit on. I want to be able to have wiring connections for 7 pin and 4 pin trailers. It doesnt have any tow wiring on it now. What would be my best option?

Expert Reply:

To add a 4- and 7-Way trailer connector to your 1999 Ford Van you will first install a 4-Way such as # 118344. Then, with the 4-Way installed you can install # ETBC7 to add a 7-Way and retain the 4-Way. I have included some links that show and explain the ETBC7 installation for you.

These links also cover the installation of a brake controller. For a brake controller I recommend the P2 # 90885 because it is easy to set up and use and it is reliable.
