Question:
Need to hook up a whole trailer tow package on a 2020 F350 without any tow package at all. I do have the connection under the dash that is all that we can find. So I need to have a brake controller, 7 and 4 way pin connector, trailer hitch V5.

You will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # HM11140755. This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located behind the rear bumper, near your spare tire on the driver's side. Once installation is complete, the 4-way connector will be stowed beneath your vehicle, near the trailer hitch. A mounting bracket (sold separately) is recommended to keep the connector secure. It is recommended that you use a small amount of grease, like # 11755, on all electrical connections - the plugs on your automobile and the 4-pole connector itself - to help prevent corrosion.
From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7. I attached installation instructions and an install video for this product as well.
For a brake controller I would recommend the Brake EVN # TK63VR. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup.
Then for a Class V hitch the Curt # C15802 is a fit and has great towing capacities.
