Parts Needed to Install a 7-Way and Brake Controller in a 2000 Ford E-350 Box Truck
Question:
I have a 2000 e350 box truck with what looks like an OEM extended frame. Id like to be able to haul a car trailer behind it, and acquired a camper-to-open-trailer with electric brakes. There is no OEM trailer wiring the bits of generic wire that were vampire-spliced in dont count. Im happy to provide photos of my truck, if that helps. Thanks in advance!

Sounds like you are looking for a way to install at 7-way trailer connector at the rear of your E-350 Box Truck.
Also sounds like you have a 4-way already. Which that would mean you would need the part # ETBC7 to convert the 4-way to a 7-way and install a brake controller.
For a brake controller I recommend the Tekonsha P2, # 90885. It is one of our most popular controllers because it is reliable, easy to set up, and easy to sue. I have included some helpful links that explain the installation of the ETBC7.
