Expert Reply:

Towing a trailer with brakes using your 2024 Ford Bronco Sport will require a hitch, 7-way wiring, and a brake controller. I recommend the following:

-etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2" # e57KR

-Curt Powered Tail Light Converter with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C59236

-Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller - 7-Way RV and 4-Way Flat - 10 Gauge Wires # ETBC7

-Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller w/ Universal Wiring Harness - Dash Knob - Proportional # RED52VR

The etrailer hitch has a maximum gross trailer weight of 3,500 lbs and tongue weight of 525 lbs. It also features a matte black powder coat finish. Before adding a 7-way you need to add a 4-way which is where the Curt wiring harness comes in. Once installed, the # ETBC7 has everything you need to upgrade to a 7-way.

The Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty only has the control knob showing in the cab so it has a nice sleak look that won't take up space. The knob controls the braking power and acts as the manual override. If you don't already have one, you will also need a ball mount. Check out the etrailer Ball Mount Kit # 989900. This kit has two ball mounts, one with a 3/4" rise or 2" drop and the other with a 2-3/4" rise or 4" drop. It also comes with a 1-7/8" and 2" ball, as well as a ball mount bag to store everything in.
