Braking system solution for 1999 Jeep Wrangler Flat Towed by 2013 Ford F150
Question:
Hello, I am looking for a auto breaking solution to tow my 99 Jeep Wrangler that can be controlled by my factory 7Pin connection on my 2013 Ford F150 with factory brake controller. Thanks.

I would suggest using the Brake Buddy Select 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System # HM39524. It is a great option that requires minimal installation for power and emergency brake away cables. It is also portable so it can be moved to different vehicles very easily. It includes a remote that you can use in your Ford F150 or any other vehicle with a 12 power supply. The remote allows you to receive feedback from the unit as well as be able to adjust the sensitivity while you drive. This system isn't going to integrate with your Ford factory brake controller, it will be completely separate from it (as will other supplemental braking systems).
I do recommend using a Battery Charge Kit # BB54FR to keep your battery on the Jeep TJ charged fully while you drive it. The braking system does use the power from the Jeep and this will allow it to always be fully charged while connected your Ford F150.
