Brake Controller Recommendation for 2018 Ford Edge Titanium with Tow Package

Question

Question:

I am purchasing 2018 Ford edge titanium with tow package. Not sure if it comes with the 4 pole flat plug or 7 pole round. I am looking to add a electric brake control. Do you make a plug and play harness like the one for the f150 for my vehicle

There isn't a quick-install brake controller port on a 2018 Ford Edge Titanium with a tow package for installing a brake controller. In fact the only brake controller we offer that can fit the versions of the 2018 Ford Edge Titanium with the tow package and 7-way is the Prodigy RF part # TK94FR which is a wireless controller that mounts on the trailer.

Let me know when you pick out the Edge and what trailer wiring it has at the rear of it and what brake controller you'd like to install if you don't want to use the RF. I really like the RF but some people prefer a permanently mounted controller. With more info I can come up with a specific solution that might work around some of the constraints of your vehicle.
