Brake Controller and Trailer Wiring Recommendation for a 2005 Ford Freestyle
Question:
I have a small tent trailer with electric brakes and I would like to tow it with my 2005 Ford Freestyle SEL. Do you have a harness or a kit that will allow for this? Thanks!

You will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # 118395.
From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7. I attached installation instructions and an install video for this product as well.
For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup.
