Adding 7-Way And Brake Controller To 2010 Ford E-150 Van With Reese 4-Pole Connecter

Question

Question:

I have a 2010 ford E-150 4.6l van. I put a 4poll trailer harness Reese 118260 Tow Wiring Harness on it awhile back that plugged into a connector under the left side. Everything works. Now I’m in need of a kit that can give me a break control module. I’ve watched some videos I just need to know what part numbers I need ?

Hey Rob, thanks for reaching out. We have just the thing. The wiring kit you will need is the following:

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

This kit contains everything you need to upgrade the current 4-pole connection to a 7-way, including all the necessary wires for a brake controller. For the brake controller, the Tekonsha BRAKE-EVN # TK28BR is what I recommend. That will be everything you need.

Will you be installing this yourself? What kind of trailer are you hauling?
