Question:
Hi, Does this Navigator need a brake control kit? It has the push button on / off feature so have assumed its integrated with the factory tow package. Have had no trouble with my boat but about to pull an Airstream and think its a requirement to be safely on the road? Thanks,

Expert Reply:
The 2016 Lincoln Navigator if equipped with the factory tow package does come with the wiring provisions for a trailer brake controller to be installed but it does not come with one from the factory. Therefore, if you are towing a trailer with brakes one will need to be added. I recommend the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller part # RED44FR as the best available option which has a factory like install look so all that will be seen is the control knob. It will offer a plug-in-play install with the Redarc Plug-and-Play Wiring Harness part # 331-TPH-007.
