Recommended Brake Controller and How to Add a 7-Way to a 2020 Ford Edge  

Question:

Hello, I am looking to add the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Brake Controller RED44FR to my 2020 Ford Edge ST. I do have the factory Tow Package with the 4 PIN Plug at the rear. I will be adding a 7-way kit ETBC7 as well. Is there a plug and play wiring harness available for my vehicle or am I just going to splice into the vehicle wiring? Am I on the right track or do I need to consider some additional items? Also are there any install videos for the 2020 Edge as I cant seem to locate one just yet. Thank you

You are 100% on the right track. Since you already have a 4-way harness installing the item # ETBC7 is the best option for adding a 7-way to your 2020 Ford Edge. I am big fan of the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Brake Controller item # RED44FR. It's a proportional controller that can be mostly concealed. The only visible part is the nickel sized knob.

I am sorry but there is no plug and play adapter available. Your Ford Edge does not have the necessary port so you will need to splice into your vehicle's wiring.

Unless your current hitch has a mounting tab, I recommend using the No-Drill Mount Bracket item # 18136 to secure the 7-way connector to your hitch. This will put it in an easy to reach spot and prevent the risk of it falling onto the road.
