Question:

I am getting a 2022 Ford Ranger with tow package. What harness do I need for my Redarc Liberty pro from old truck. Also is there any issues with the Ford Safety braking feature with the auto brakes?

Your 2022 Ford Ranger doesn't have a brake controller wiring port under the dash and instead has 4 wires that are sticking out of the large wire harness that goes through the diriver's side firewall left of the brake pedal. They have shrink wrap tubings on them. So you don't need anything to install your Redarc Tow Pro Liberty # RED24FR. Normally you'd need the universal wiring kit # RED69FR too but you may have wiring already.
