Brake Controller and 7-Way Recommendation for a 2001 Ford F-250

Question:

My F250 has the attached connector sitting at the rear of the truck. I am planning on buying this extension to get a 7 blade connector at the rear, in order to pull a trailer with electric brakes. I will also be installing a brake controller. Will this adapter give me electric brake function after install?

The connector you found at the rear of your 2001 Ford F-250 is the correct one to use to install a 7-Way at the rear of your truck. The # 118243 that you referenced comes with the needed fuses and relays to activate that connector. Check out the install video I attached for more info 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. This is a proportional brake controller that senses the amount of braking the tow vehicle is applying and applies a proportionate amount to the trailer brakes. All you would need to install this controller would be the # 3035-P harness.
