Question:

Hey David, the Redarc Tow-Pro Link Bluetooth Brake Controller # RED57AR that you referenced will fit any vehicle that has a 7-way installed on it including your 2017 Ram 3500 that has a factory brake controller. This will bypass that circuit on your truck so the OEM controller will no longer be functional while this will take it's place. How do you like the OEM controller?
