Does The 2018 Ford F-150 Have Power Assist Braking and Is it Compatible With Roadmaster BrakeMaster
Question:
Will this work on a 2018 F-150 XLT. The product page mentions not power assist compatible but you show an installation on a 2017 F-150. Its my impression that all of the F-150s have power brakes.

Expert Reply:
The 2018 Ford F-150 XLT has anti-lock brakes so they will not lock during emergency situations however that is not the same as power assist brakes. The Roadmaster BrakeMaster System w BrakeAway for RVs w Air or Air Over Hydraulic Brakes part # RM-9160 is compatible with the brakes of the 2018 Ford F-150 XLT. You will also need the Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit for Towed Vehicles part # RM-88400 to make sure the truck's brake signals do not override the RV signals. I have attached a video for your reference.
