Question:
2006 Ford F-150 XLT 6 1/2 ft bed with factory 7- and 4-way trailer light wiring unit all ready installed. Will the Redarc Liberty Trailer Brake Controller work with this truck ? Which wire harness is need for easy installation ?

Expert Reply:
Yes, you can! Since your 2006 Ford F-150 came with a 7-way connector from the factory you'll be able to install the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller item # RED96CR with the custom harness that comes included. This the same brake controller you were looking at just paired up with the plug and play adapter.
