• How to Power Skull Trailer Hitch Receiver Cover on a 2018 Ford F-150 Raptor
  The skull trailer hitch cover, part # CR-018, plugs into a standard 4-way trailer connector at the back of your 2018 Ford F-150 Raptor. If you don't have a trailer connector you can add one using part # HM11140735. It does not include a hitch pin. Use part # PC3 for a standard pin and clip or, this is what I would do, get a locking pin like part # e98880 to protect it. The wiring harness is 18 inches long. If it isn't long enough to reach your 4-way you can use an extension like part...

• Compatibility of 7-Way Trailer Connector on 2017 Ford F-150
  On your 2017 Ford F-150, it sounds like you have an adapter like the Hopkins # 37185. The orange and blue wires you splice into are the power and brake controller output wires. You are correct that the remaining wire is your reverse light signal wire. You do not need to have the reverse light wire for your 7-way trailer connector to work with the other functions, you only need to connect that wire if you want reverse lights, reverse lockout for a surge brake coupler, or a backup camera....

• 7-Way and Brake Controller Install Recommendation for 2018 Ford F-150
  The T-one 7-Way part # 118283 is a confirmed fit for your 2018 Ford F-150 and will give you a 7-way that wires into the factory harness of your truck. Then for an install harness for a brake controller that plugs into the port under your dash you'd then need the part # 22292 and you'd be ready to install a brake controller. The brake controller I recommend is the Prodigy P3 part # 90195 because this brake controller senses the amount of braking your tow vehicle is applying and puts a proportional...

  I agree with you on the aesthetics aspect with the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" Item # 75691 for your 2010 Ford F-150.

• Can 7-Way and Brake Controller Install in 2017 Ford F-150 with 4-Way
  Luckily for you, your 2008 Ford F-150 already has most of the items you need for a 7-way (circuit breakers, etc).

• 7-Way Trailer Connector Brake Controller Output Wire on 2017 Ford F-150 XLT
  It sounds like you are connecting wires to an aftermarket 7-way on your 2017 F-150. There are two wires run from under the hood to the end of the driver's side frame rail. One is a blue wire which is the electric trailer brake output wire that will need to be run to the 5 o'clock pin on your 7-way. The other wire is the hot 12V wire that will be run to the 1 o'clock position. You will need to have a short wire added from that frame rail to the 7-way, so I recommend using # 10-1-1 which...
