Parts Needed For Controlling Trailer Brakes With a 2021 Ford Ranger Without Tow Package
Question:
I viewed your video for an install but nothing was ever mentioned about the trailer brakes. Will this system activate the trailer brakes when the vehicle brakes are applied?

Expert Reply:
To be able to control the trailer brakes with your 2021 Ford Ranger you will need a trailer brake controller like the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller w/ Universal Wiring Harness # RED52VR to go with the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 22124. The brake controller is what receives a signal from the brake switch on your Ranger and allows you to adjust the power needed for the electric trailer brakes. The wiring for the brake controller is tied up under the dash on the left side of the kick panel. I have linked a video for the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller # RED44FR being installed on a 2019 Ranger below for help finding the wires.
