Question:

I have a 2017 Ford Expedition XLT 4WD 6 Cylinders T 3.5L DI Turbo DOHC 213 CID VIN: 1FMJU1JT9HEA55371 I would like to get the towing wiring updated and a brake assist installed. Get it ready for an RV. I would like an estimate for this please. Thanks, Dave

Hey Dave, your 2017 Ford Expedition would have came with a factory 7-way trailer wiring harness so to update your wiring so that you can install a brake controller all you need is the correct harness that plugs into the port under your dash like the # 22292 so you can install a controller like the P3 part # 90195 and you'd be set.

Hey! You'd think it would have the newer plug but I just verified, it's the 4 pin rectangle. I'm guessing that should be updated? What would all cost? Please and thank you, Dave

@Dave Okay so you can still use the part numbers that were mentioned but you would also need the part # 37185 to convert the 4-way to a 7-way and you'll need to run a wire from it to the bundle of wires near your spare tire under the truck. See attached attached link for more info on this.

@JamesonC I apologize. I tried to send you some photos but I might have given you the wrong description. It's not even a 4 pin connector. There is only 3 pins in this connector. Is that going to be an issue? All the same parts?
