Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 2000 Ford F-150 Video

Some 1998 Ford F-150 and F-250 Light Duty Trucks have a factory installed connector and some do not. This depends on if you have a factory tow package or not. To figure out if your vehicle has a tow package, you can contact your local Ford Dealer…

The Ford Replacement OEM Tow Package Wiring Harness, 7-Way #118242 will upgrade your factory 4-way connector to a 7-way. You will also want the mounting bracket #PK-12711U to position your 7-way connector in a convenient location and keep dirt and…

The Badland winch 9k has a power draw of 300 amps at full load. You need a deep cycle 12V AGM battery that can handle that amperage. I recommend a battery with 650 Cold Cranking Amps (CCA). Badland Winches are an introductory winch with a not so…

If your 2001 Ford F-150 has the factory 4-Way flat trailer connector then you can use harness #118242 to add a 7-Way. Once plugged in in place of the 4-Way harness and after the included relays and fuses are installed then it will be fully…

Since your 1999 Ford F-150 has a factory 4-way, and have the correct plug-in wiring adapter #3035-P (plug one end of adapter into your brake controller #5504 and other end into the built-in harness beneath your dash). Based on what you referenced…

Your 2000 Ford F-150 XLT Super Cab with manual transmission and 4.6L engine is capable of towing between 1,900 and 3,200lbs depending on your rear end gear ratio. These weight ratings are for conventional trailer towing. Ford does not provide any…

That's an excellent question! The Curt #C51180 Echo wireless trailer brake controller will work with your aftermarket brake controller installed. The Echo gets all its inputs from the 7-way trailer connector, bot the brake lamp circuit and…

Yes. You can install the Curt T-Connector #C56413 on your 2019 Ford F-150 and it will be compatible with your factory brake controller. This will install a fully functioning 7 way connector on your truck to allow you to tow a trailer with brakes.…

What I would do is try bypassing the tee connection on the Curt T-Connector #C56413. If you plug everything back up how it was before you installed this kit then you can test the 7-Way at the back of your 2018 Ford F-150 to see if everything is…

For your 2020 Ford F-150 that does not have the factory 7-way all you need to install one is the part #C56413 that you referenced. Your vehicle does have brake controller wiring currently so this would tie right into what you have now and your…

I recommend the Hayes - Proportional Trailer Brake Controller, #HA81742B. This has the same connection as the Hayes Time Delayed Brake Controller, #HA81760. If you have the, #HA81760 or one with the same connector, they are interchangeable. Please…
