For your 2018 Ford F-150 that has a factory 7-way we have the Reese Multi Plug Harness part # 74682 which will replace your current 7-way and give you one that also has a 4-way harness attached to it. This will allow you to tow trailers with both styles of trailer wiring. It also comes with a new mounting bracket if you needed that as well.
