Hey Cali, thanks for the information! To add a hitch, 7-way, and brake controller to your 2025 Bronco Badlands you will need the following parts:

Hitch - Curt Hitch item # C76WR

7-Way Connector - Universal Installation Kit item # ETBC7

Brake Controller - Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller w/ Custom Harness item # RED67CR

The Curt Hitch item # C76WR is by far the easiest way to add a 2" hitch to your Bronco. It's going to attach directly to your rear bumper bar with the four included bolts.

The Universal Installation Kit item # ETBC7 includes a 4-way and 7-way connector and all wiring to get it setup. Please note that you must already have a 4-way connector installed. If your Bronco did not come with one from the factory you'll also need a 4-way. The Curt item # C42WR is for the models with LED tail lights and the Curt item # C87BR is the one you'll need if you have incandescent rear bulbs.

The Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller w/ Custom Harness item # RED67CR is one of the most unique and effective proportional brake controllers on the market. It comes with a custom fit wiring harness that connects to a port above the gas pedal. It's typically taped to a larger wiring harness.

What kind of trailer do you plan on towing with your Bronco and when you say factory wiring what exactly are you referring to having?

I installed the Curt Trailer Hitch on my 2023 Bronco and it fit and works just fine. I had more work to do as I had to add the wiring but the hitch is working great.
