Question:
I have a 2011 Ford E-250 van that I need a trailer wiring harness for. It does not have a tow package. Do you have a t connector wiring harness that has the 4 pin flat connector and the 7? I can’t find it.

There is a T-One connector to fit your 2011 Ford E-250 for a 4-way. Use part # 118551. However, to add a 7-way you need to connect some wiring. Once you have the 4-way installed use our # ETBC7 kit to convert it to the 7-way and still keep your 4-way. The # ETBC7 plugs into your existing 4-way and also has the additional wires that are then run to your battery for 12 volt power, your van's reverse lights, and then to the cab to connect to an electric brake controller. Once installed you'll have both a fully functioning 7-way and 4-way. The kit includes everything but the controller itself. I've linked a video of the install process for you.
If you also need a brake controller I recommend the P3, part # 90195, because of how easy to use and reliable it is. Also if you don't have a hitch yet you can use part # 75703 with our ball mount kit, part # 989900.
