  • Yes, whether you plan on using the Pollak Single-Pole # PK11852 (which is geared more towards winches) or the 7-Way Round RV Style Trailer Connector - Trailer Side # A7WCB (which is recommended for a travel trailer), you will not only connect the power wire but you also need to have a ground connection as well.

  • I called my contact at Superchips and asked about the Flashpaq F4 Performance Tuner, part # SU1845. They told me this system does not monitor transmission oil temperature.

  • Curt Echo Controller for 2018 Ford Expedition LTD
  • The Curt Echo, part # C51180, runs on Apple devices with iOS 8 or higher. That's actually pretty old dating all the way back to the iPhone 4S so your iPhone 7's and your 6th generation iPad won't have any issues at all. As long as your 2018 Ford Expedition has a 7-way trailer connector and the 12 volt pin works then you won't need to do anything to the vehicle to use the Echo.

  • Will the Curt Echo Work If I Am Also Playing Music Via Bluetooth On a Stereo
  • It sounds like you are trying to play music though your stereo via Bluetooth while also using the Curt Echo Mobile Trailer Brake Controller part # C51180 to control your trailer brakes.

I spoke with Curt and they said they have been able to stream both Pandora as well as use the Curt Echo but this will really come down to the capability of your smartphone. The latest version of Bluetooth does allow for multiple...

  • Location of Brake Controller Connector in 2014 Ford Expedition

Once the glove box is dropped, you'll see the plug next to the glove box on the left.

The tow modes make sure that you have the power in order to tow easier but they cannot increase the capacity of the truck.

According to my research, the reverse light circuit on your Expedition is carried through the green/brown wire but I recommend you check this with a circuit tester. In order to splice into the reverse light wire, I recommend using part # SWC501746-1....
