Brake Controller and Install Harness for a 2013 Ford Explorer
Question:
Hi, I have a 2013 Ford Explorer XLT 3.6L with a factory installed class III trailer hitch and 7 pin plug. I recently bought the Curt Tri Flex Brake Control #51140. The plug under the hood release wont fit the control. Is this the right plug/location. Is there an adapter that will work made by Curt? Theyre catalogue doesnt list anything for an Explorer newer than 2011.

For installing the Tri-Flex brake controller part # C24VV in a 2013 Ford Explorer the correct install harness is the part # C51322.
I confirmed this with Curt as a fit for your vehicle. he Ford Explorer and Mercury Mountaineer have 6-pin connectors behind the glove box on the passenger's side that this connector will install into.
