In order to install the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller # RED24FR in your 2021 Ford Ranger you will also need the Universal Wiring Harness for Redarc Tow-Pro Trailer Brake Controllers # RED69FR. There is no custom fit wiring harness available for your vehicle with the tow package. This means you will need to hard wire it in for installation.

Aside from the wiring harness, no other parts are needed. If you want to use a universal mounting panel like the # 331-TPSI-001 or # RED37FR you certainly can, but it is not necessary.

I have attached an installation video on a different vehicle so you can see what the process is like.
