Trailer Wiring, Brake Controller, and Trailer Hitch for 2000 Ford Ranger
Question:
I am needing to install a 7 prong plug on my 2000 Ford Ranger XLT. Which harness would you recommend? As well as which frame mounted hitch would you recommend? As well as brake controller?

Expert Reply:
For your 2000 Ford Ranger you'd need to first start with a 4-way that fits your truck like the # 118344 and then convert it to a 7-way with part # ETBC7 which comes with all the wiring needed to install a brake controller as well like the iCommand part # TK63VR and that would be set.
Then for a hitch the Curt part # 13019 would be a great option as it's made in the USA, installs easily, and has plenty of weight capacity.
