Expert Reply:
To install a trailer brake controller like the P2, # 90885, on your 2011 Ford Ranger, you will need a couple of items. First, you will need the brake controller itself. Next, if the truck does not have a 4-Way trailer connector, you will need to add one using # 18252.
Once you have installed the 4-Way or if the truck already has one, you will then need to install the 4 and 7 Way Installation Kit, # ETBC7. This kit provides everything you will need to install a 7-Way on the truck and it provides all of the wiring to hardwire the brake controller to the vehicle.
I have included links to some videos, and FAQ, and isntructions that will explain and show the installation for you.
