Parts Needed to Install a 7-Way on a 2005 Ford F-150
Question:
I want to add a 7 pin trailer receptacle to my 2005 F150 Vin. What do I need? Thanks

Expert Reply:
You would first need to start with a 4-way on your 2005 Ford F-150. For that you would want the part # C56031 which is a confirmed fit.
Now if your trailer does not have brakes all you would need is the part # 37185 as an adapter to convert the 4-way to a 7-way.
If you do have trailer brakes you would need the # 3035-P, the # 37185, and a brake controller.
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.
