Your 2004 Ford F250 will have the brake controller connector located under the dash right above where the driver's right knee would be as shown in the video I've linked for you. Simply use the # C51322 harness to plug the Curt # C74VV Venturer brake controller into the gray connector as shown.

It doesn't really matter if your truck's 7-way is OEM or not, as long as it's functional. If you have any difficulties, please let us know and we'd be happy to assist.

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…

Since the pin weight of your camper is 2.1k, I recommend going with the LoadLifter 5000 opposed to the 7500. While technically there is not reason you couldn't use the 7500 kit, it really is not necessary for a camper like yours. Generally the…

You're right, the mounting bracket is unique (in a good way) for the Curt TriFlex NEXT Trailer Brake Controller #C24VV. The bracket is smaller and all you do is put the included adhesive tape on the bracket and stick it wherever you like under…
