Hitch and 7-Way/Brake Controller for 1997 Ford F-150 without Tow Package  

Question:

Im looking to purchase a Micro Minni Winnebago travel trailer. I need to install both receiver hitch and 7-way connector on my 1997 Ford F150 XLT. Which receiver hitch will best suit my needs? Curt or Draw Tite and do I need a class III or IV hitch? What would a complete package cost in cluding breake controller?

Expert Reply:

The Micro Minni Winnebago travel trailers typically weigh between 3,000 and 3,700 lbs so for a hitch for your 1997 Ford F-150 a Class III model like the Draw Tite part # 41920 would be a really great option with more than enough capacity. To add a 7-way you would need to start with a 4-way like the part # C56031 which is a confirmed fit and the easiest install.

Then to convert this to a 7-way and wire in a brake controller like our very reliable and well-performing Brake EVN # TK63VR you'd want the # ETBC7 which is the 7-way adapter as well as comes with everything needed to wire in a brake controller.
