Question:
I will be purchasing a new Ford Ranger 2023. Do you sell adaptive wire harness for a brake controller that will plug into vehicle brakes. Or will it need to wired separate to the vehicle. Thanks

Expert Reply:
I do have some electric trailer brake controller options for you but there are no connectors under the dash of this vehicle for a brake controller to plug into. That said, there are blunt cut wires with all the functions needed to hook up an electric trailer brake controller. These wires are located on the driver side, under the dash, left of the brake pedal on the firewall with heat shrink tubing on the ends. The wires can be hooked up directly to a controller like the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Brake Controller part # RED44FR which is what I recommend due to the hidden design.
If you don't want to mess with any wiring there are still wireless plug-in play options you can use like the Curt Echo In-Line Wireless Brake Controller part # C79DR which installs outside the vehicle and uses your mobile phone for the controls.
