2021 Ford Ranger FX4 Trailer Break Controller Recommendation
Question:
Is there a quick connection plug/adapter available for this vehicle? If not is there a model that offers one which is still a portional brake controller?

Expert Reply:
With your Ford Ranger being so new there isn't a confirmed fit adapter however I do recommend Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller - 1 to 4 Axles - Proportional Item # 90195
Since a custom brake-control wiring adapter is not available for your vehicle, one of the following will be required:
20-Amp circuit breaker (9506P - sold separately) for 2- to 4-brake applications
30-Amp circuit breaker (38630 - sold separately) for 6- to 8-brake applications
However the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller - 7-Way RV and 4-Way Flat - 10 Gauge Wires Item # ETBC7 will come with 3 Heavy-duty circuit breakers - (1) 20 amp, (1) 30 amp, and (1) 40 amp
If you already have a 7-way installed in your truck you won't need the # ETBC7 and you can just get the circuit breaker that fits your brake application needs.
I've attached an installation video for you as well.
