Expert Reply:

We do carry jacks like the Lippert Power Stance Electric Trailer Jack w/ 7-Way Plug # LC89VR that will allow you to connect to the 7-way on your 2018 Ford Expedition Max Platinum to power the jack. You can duplicate a similar connection using a 7-Way Round RV Style Trailer Connector # A7WCB. The Jacketed 2 Wire # 12-2-1 and Heat Shrink Butt Connectors # DW05745-5 work great for connecting the 7-way. The wiring is sold per foot. A Ring Terminal # DW05741-1 will be needed to connect to the ground mounting bolts.

If your trailer already has a 7-way with battery and charge line you can connect the jack power wire to the battery with a Ring Terminal # DW05741-1 and the frame will act as the ground for the battery.
