Anybody Install A Brake Controller?

[Treasurer2]

Has anybody installed a brake controller on the new Ranger? Are they prewired under the dash for connecting a unit?

Hoping someone knows this. I'm still waiting on my Lariat (getting sick of the wait), and there is one in stock nearby that has most options I wanted - my order was to include the advanced tow package mainly to get the brake controller, and this doesn't have that. I still don't get why the basic tow package doesn't include this. Dumb..

I got tired waiting so I bought a Curt Echo wireless controller and it works fine.

I have had great luck using the Tekonsha Prodigy RF controller on other vehicles. The controller mounts on the trailer and not in the truck, so no wiring in the truck, saving a lot of time and hassle. It has 12v remote display/control that you can toss in the console when not in use.

Thanks. Good to know if the Curt Echo gives me trouble
