Compatibility of Aftermarket Brake Controller With OEM Sway Control System on 2018 Ford Explorer
Updated 04/29/2021 | Published 04/21/2021
Question:
2018 Ford Explorer with factory installed class 3 tow package. Any controller recommendations that allows the sway control to operate as designed?

Helpful Expert Reply:
According to my contact at Curt, using a brake controller such as the # C51180 Echo Wireless Brake Controller won't have any effect on the OEM Ford Sway Control system. As long as your Explorer has a functional 7-way trailer connector, the Curt Echo will work great for you.
I'll link to a video that will walk you through how the Echo works.
