Question:
I need the Ram white trailer brake control plug ! Ram Integrated Trailer Brake Controller. I am told Ford uses the same plug on 2005-2007 Ford Super Duty trucks.

Hey Curtis! We have a couple of options for brake controller adapter plugs for your 2012 Ram 1500 but they work with manufacturer specific brake controllers. As far as your Ram Integrated Trailer Brake Controller goes we're not going to have an aftermarket part that works with a RAM OEM controller.
Additionally, neither of these have any compatibility with Ford trucks. I have listed our two options below:
Curt Brake Controllers - Custom Wiring Adapter for Trailer Brake Controllers - Dual Plug In item # C51438
Tekonsha Brake Controllers - Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers - Dodge item # 3021-P
If you have any additional questions feel free to email me directly or comment below.

Hey Curtis, did either the Curt or Tekonsha wiring adapter end up working with your Ram brake controller? Knowing what you found could help others trying to match an OEM controller with the right plug.
