Question:

Could you possibly point me in the direction where the brake controller connection plug is located on a 2025 ram 1500 bighorn?

Hey Brandon, thanks for reaching out!

The brake controller plug for your 2025 Ram 1500 is under the dash to the right of your steering column, according to the installation instructions for the Curt TriFlex NEXT Trailer Brake Controller w/ Custom Harness # C38GV.

I'm interested in purchasing one of your controllers for my 2024 RAM 1500. I just removed the panel below the steering column to look for the plug to connect the controller to the truck but I dont find one. Do you have photos or more instructions than the "right side of the steering column"? I want to make sure it'll work before I buy it. Thanks

@TomM Check out the linked video for the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty # RED22NR starting at the 11:00 minute mark. Our install team shows where the plug is on the right side of the steering column. This is on a 2020 model, but it's the same generation so it should be in the same spot.

@JonG Thanks Jon, I found it at 11:00 wrapped in black cloth tape to the harness. Very hard to find but it’s up there! I ordered the brake controller, thanks again!
