Which 7 Way Trailer Plug for 2019 Ford F-150

Question

Question:

My 2019 F150 has no towing package and a flat 4 connector. I plan to add the Ford OE trailer brake controller to my dash and of course plug it in and activateinch it with the Forscan system. I do have the #24 30a fuse in the underhood fuse box. Will the Curt 56413 work with this OE system and allow the use of the trailer brakes? Thank you

Yes. You can install the Curt T-Connector # C56413 on your 2019 Ford F-150 and it will be compatible with your factory brake controller. This will install a fully functioning 7 way connector on your truck to allow you to tow a trailer with brakes.

I've linked a review and installation video of this plug for you to check out as well.

For your 2020 Ford F-150 that does not have the factory 7-way all you need to install one is the part #C56413 that you referenced. Your vehicle does have brake controller wiring currently so this would tie right into what you have now and your brake…

What I would do is try bypassing the tee connection on the Curt T-Connector #C56413. If you plug everything back up how it was before you installed this kit then you can test the 7-Way at the back of your 2018 Ford F-150 to see if everything is…

Answer 12

I reached out to Curt, who told me that the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 7-Way Trailer Connector #C56413 will install inline with the 4-way on your 2018 Ford F-150, so you will not have access to your truck's 4-way. That said, if…
