Question:
Ive just purchased a 2018 Explorer with the factory tow package. The package includes a hitch, 7-pole wiring, and an engine oil cooler. I cannot find a _word_ anywhere through Ford regarding a brake controller or installation /wiring, and I dont see any wiring coiled anywhere under the dash... can you help with that, please? I do have a brake controller that Id like to use if its compatible... its a Reese Pod, and I believe the model number is 7746... theres a part number on the instructions, 7760, I guess thats the number of the instructions themselves... the date code on it is February 2006. Many thanks!

Helpful Expert Reply:
To install your Reese Pod brake controller in your 2018 Ford Explorer will require the install harness part # 3035-P which is a confirmed fit. If you check out the 9:55 mark of the install video I attached to this page you'll see where to find the port on your vehicle to plug the controller in. It is a bit hidden under the dash underneath the panels.
