Question:
how do I add a 7-way to my 2022 Ford Explorer without a factory tow package?

Expert Reply:
For your 2022 Ford Explorer without a factory tow package, you need to have a 4-way installed before adding the 7-way harness. If you need the 4-way, I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118599. The T-One harness has a better-quality converter box than the Curt # C56093.
Once you have the 4-way installed, now it is time for the 7-way. For that part, I recommend the Universal Installation Kit # ETBC7. With this system, you will be able to hardwire this setup in your factory wiring. After the 7-way is installed, you are ready for the brake controller.
If you need a brake controller, I recommend the Curt Echo # C51180. With the Echo, there is no hardwiring involved because it simply installed into the 7-way connection. In addition, you receive the comfort of adjusting/monitoring the controller from the ease of your smart device.
