Can Redarc Tow-Pro Brake Controller Install in 2017 Ford F-150
Question:
I have a 2017 Ford F150 XLT that has the factory-installed brake controller. It is integrated with the trailer package that includes anti-sway and a display of trailer information, including setting the braking current, etc. If I want to upgrade to a proportional controller i.e. the Redarc Tow-pro Elite, will I lose the anti-sway feature? I assume I will lose the trailer braking information I currently have in the towing information display. I also assume I will need a cable adaptor for the conversion. Thanks

Expert Reply:
You will lose the anti-sway feature as that's part of the integrated brake controller. The trailer info will also most likely go away too on your 2017 Ford F-150.
To install the Redarc Tow Pro part # RED44FR in your truck though the correct harness is the part # 331-TPH-007 which is a custom fit.
