Question:
Hello, We have a 2021 Ford explorer timberline with the factory tow package with the factory 7 way and 4 way plugs. I am looking for a brake control. My wife will be pulling a flatbed trailer with our UTV truck on it. Thank You

We can get your 2021 Ford Explorer with a factory 7-way set up with a brake controller, and since you have that 7-way already, you'll only need the correct wiring harness and the installation will be an easy plug-and-play for you. The brake controller I highly recommend is the Redarc Liberty for the most hidden look and easiest to use with its simple adjustment knob. The correct parts are the following:
- Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Trailer Brake Controller # RED24FR
- Plug-and-Play Wiring Harness # RED87FR
