Question:
I need a brake controller for RV brakes. I have a 2023 Ford Transit 350 cargo WITH factory Tow Package, but with NO brake controller. On your website, the wireless brake controllers are compatible with my vehicle but without factory Tow Package. Is the Curt Echo Wireless Brake Controller compatible if I have the factory Tow Package but NO brake controller?

Helpful Expert Reply:
Hey Lauren yes, the Curt Echo # C51180 is compatible with vehicles that have the factory tow package but no brake controller. This brake controller only requires a 7-way to work so as long as you have that (which you should if you have the tow package) you're good.
If for some reason you don't have a 7-way, then you can add one with # ETBC7L. If you need help with anything else, feel free to let me know in the comments below and I'd be happy to help!
