2023 Ford E-350 Cutaway RV Brake Controller Recommendation
Updated 08/24/2026 | Published 08/14/2026
Question:
Hi. I have a 2023 Ford E350 Cutaway which has a 7 pin trailer connector in the back. (RV) I would like to add an Electric Brake controller. I suspect based on the other conversations, I should be able to simply get one from you guys and mount it and plug it in. Correct? I have been told the Curt Echo Bluetooth Brake controller is the way to go but would prefer a traditional one I can mount under the dash area and has a motion-sensing accelerometer. If I can simply plug and play, what would be a suggested controller?

Hey David, I have a really great brake controller solution for your 2023 Ford E-350 cutaway with the Redarc Tow Pro Link part # RED57AR but we don't have any traditional brake controllers with harnesses that would plug in under the dash of your RV. This instead plugs inline with your current 7-way and gives you a more reliable wireless controller than the Echo you mentioned and it also has a motion-sensing accelerometer like you want as well.
This will give you an easier to install and use brake controller than a traditional while also performing better as well for safer stopping. You can control it with the included remote or you can sync it to your smart phone. What brake controllers have you tried in the past?

I had a brake controller on a different vehicle but it was an older one and mounted under the dashboard.
