To install the Redarc Tow Pro Liberty # RED24FR in your 2021 Ford Ranger that does not have the factory 7-way you'd need the 7-way adapter and brake controller install kit # ETBC7 and you'd have that covered. Normally you'd need the universal wiring kit # RED69FR too but you may have wiring already.

Then for trailer hitch we have the etrailer Trailer Hitch part # e63ZR which has a trailer towing capacity of 6,000 lbs or 8,000 pounds with used with weight distribution.
