Question:

Found a 6 pin plug where older models have oem brakecontroller plug in, do they make an oem adaptor for this model, or is it hard wired in, im pretty sure others have asked, do you guys know new stuff or where are you getting your info cause i learn first hand installing them, hard to quote and do jobs if it seems pre wired and ends up bring a dead end and resort to hard wiring it on a brand new vehical

There is not a plug-in adapter available for the 2017 Ford Transit T250 that will allow for a plug and play trailer brake controller installation. A brake controller, such as the excellent Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195, will just need to be hardwired to the vehicle using the wires beneath the brake pedal.

If the vehicle did not come with the factory tow package or 7-Way connector, you will also need the Tekonsha Vehicle Wiring Harness # 22114. This will include everything needed to install a fully functional 7-Way along with the wiring needed for the brake controller. This will install by connecting to the built-in ports behind the vehicle's tail lights and then plugging directly to the brake controller.

I have attached the complete installation instructions that you can also take a look at.

We receive fit information directly from the manufacturers and based on installations we perform in-house.
