  • Parts Needed to Add a 7-Way and Trailer Brake Controller to a 2001 Ford Expedition
  • On a 2001 Ford Expedition that did not come with a factory 7-Way, you will actually need to use adapter # 37185 to add a 7-Way. To connect the 4-Wires on the 37185 you will need to first ground the white wire to the truck frame. Then you will want to follow the factory wiring forward on the vehicle to where it plugs into another connector. On the connector on the forward side, there are more wires going in then coming out. If you pull back the covering on the wires you will find some...

  • Which Weight Distribution Hitch for Featherlite 2 Horse Trailer
  • Which weight distribution hitch you'll need will depend on the specs of the trailer- the GVWR and the tongue weight of the trailer. From what I was able to find it looks like a typical 2 horse Featherlite trailer will weigh around 8000-lbs fully loaded. I recommend using a weight distribution hitch like the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control - Trunnion - 12,000 lbs GTW, 1,200 lbs TW # FA92-00-1200, which has a tongue weight range of 800-lbs to 1200-lbs, so it will work...

  • Parts Needed to Install 7-Way in 2001 Ford Expedition with Factory 4-Flat
  • Since your 2001 Ford Expedition already has a factory 4-flat you will need the Adapter 4-Pole to 7-Pole # 37185. Your '01 Expedition should have the factory wiring already run to the connector on the frame rail so you will need to splice in the adapter; for extra wire you can use # 12-1-1 along with butt connectors # 05732-2. I have added a link to a help article about installing a brake controller in a Ford like your '01 Expedition which I strongly recommend reading. It will explain...

  • Parts Needed For Adding Charge Line During 4-Way to 7-Way Conversion on a 2016 Ford Expedition
  • To finish the conversion of your 4-Way to 7-Way # C57674 on your 2016 Ford Expedition you will need a Charge Line Kit # RM-156-75. This is needed as Ford did not run the additional wire for the 7-way. You will need to run this directly to your vehicle battery with the included circuit breaker. As this will always provide power to the charge line you may want to add a Relay # BL63VR so it only provides power when the ignition is switched on. This will prevent draining your battery when the...

  • Adding a Trailer Brake Controller and 7-Way To a 2012 Ford Expedition With a 4-Way Flat Connector
  • First to determine exactly what parts you need you will need to see if your 4-way flat plug is a factory plug or if the 4-way was added on. The best way to determine this is to check under the dash for the trailer brake connector. The connector will be tucked up behind the OB2 port above the throttle pedal. I have linked an installation video below for the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195 that shows where this connector is on your 2012 Ford Expedition. If you have...

  • 7-Way Wiring Harness for 2001 Ford Expedition

To this you can then add adapter part # 37185 from Hopkins, which is a 7-way that plugs into the 4-pole. It includes a mounting bracket. Once installed the Hopkins adapter will carry lighting signals for your...

  • Parts Needed to Add a 7-Way Trailer Connector to a 2006 Ford Expedition with Factory Tow Package
  • For your 2006 Ford Expedition, the correct 7-Way is # 37185. What I recommend though is to use # ETBC7. This kit comes with the 7-Way but it also comes with all the wiring and accessories you will need to wire it in and make it functional. For a brake controller, I recommend the Tekonsha P2, # 90885. This is one of our most popular controllers because it is easy to set up and easy to use. I have included a link to the installation details for you. I have also included links to an FAQ article...

  • Auxiliary Transmission Cooler for 2019 Ford Expedition with 3.5L EcoBoost Engine
  • A transmission cooler isn't a vehicle-specific item. As long as your transmission has two lines running from the transmission to the radiator, and you have the available space on the front of the radiator directly behind the grille, you can install a cooler. Unless you live in a climate that's freezing most of the year, it's recommended to get the largest transmission cooler that will fit in the available space. If you have 11 x 8-3/4 inches of available space, the Derale # D13503 transmission...

  • Recommended Towing Mirror for 2020 Ford Expedition
  • I recommend using the CIPA Universal Towing Mirrors - Clamp On - Qty 2 # CM11980-2, since they'll clamp on to the top of your 2020 Expedition's factory mirrors and won't interfere with the existing features you've got. I really like that these are extendable to give you a really wide view behind you and the rotating mirror allows you to configure this however you'd like to give you the best field of vision. I've linked a short review video we did of these on a similar Expedition, but...

  • Parts Needed to Install a Brake Controller in a 2005 Ford Expedition
  • Yes, installing a 7-way on your 2005 Ford Expedition would be the recommended way to install a brake controller. You will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # 18252. 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...

  • Parts Needed to Install a Prodigy P3 Brake Controller in a 2011 Ford Expedition
  • If your 2011 Ford Expedition comes with a factory 7-way the only thing you will need to install your Prodigy P3 Brake Controller part # 90195 would be the brake controller install harness part # 3035-P. Check out the install video I attached that shows how it installs in a very similar 2011 Expedition as yours.

This harness plugs into the back of the Reese brake controller and the other end into the factory connection point on your 2006 Ford Expedition. I have linked instructions and a video that shows installation for you. To make the 7-Way fully functional you will need to do a little hardwiring. Since your Expedition came with the factory 4-Way it will be easy. I have included a link to...
