Helpful Expert Reply:
To install a brake controller in your 2018 Ford Transit T250 that does not have any trailer wiring at all you would need to start with a 4-way connector like the # 118643 which installs easily by plugging inline with the taillight connectors. Then to convert it to a 7-way and install a brake controller you'd want the # ETBC7 which covers that and also comes with everything needed to wire in a brake controller like our really popular and great performing P2 part # 90885. There are a lot of brake controller solutions out there but this one is widely considered the best so you'd really like it.
