What Wire Gauge Should be Used for Electric Trailer Brakes?
Question:
Im looking to run wires for a trailer brake on a 2014 f150 crew cab not tow package ready. Do I need 10 gauge wire, or is 12 gauge sufficient for this application? I have a 7 thousand pound carhauler that I will be loading with a RZR and 1-2 four wheelers, brakes on 1 axle. Thanks
