Vehicle: 2025 XLT with a basic tow package, but no factory trailer brake controller.
Challenge: Finding a clean, professional factory location for the Redarc remote control knob.
Solution: Bought the factory dashboard trim panel designed for the built-in trailer switch (thanks to @Aj R for the suggestion). Found a textured plastic case for an iPad at a thrift shop. Cut and sanded down the black plastic piece to fit snugly into the empty space on the new dash panel. Mounted the Redarc control knob securely onto that custom plastic insert.
The ABS that will become part of the Ranger ITC trim:
Finishing touches on the ABS insert:
Side-by-side comparison:
The black color isn't a match:
Finding space to mount the module wasn't easy - not much room under the dash. Chose this spot:
A reminder that only up to '25 has the harness that the Redarc TPH-007 can plug into; Ford removed it in '26.
