I started this tread in 2019.
I started this thread in 2019. This post is a great explanation of the problem. The fix is described in the attachment. Have they fixed this in the latest version of the truck
I don't want to hijack this very important thread. But I would also like to ask those who have installed and tested an aftermarket controllers to include a wiring diagram of how they did it
Great post. At least someone one from Ford acknowledged that there may be no good option for installing an after-market controller. I also filed a complaint. If anyone is as concerned about this issue as I am, I hope you will also file a complaint. Apparently it's going to take a lot more than...
I tried to get the information from Ford in Dearborn and my local dealer a couple dealers while I was wandering the country. The only people who will talk about this seems to be the people at Redarc. They say that Ford Motor Company Australia is developing a controller using their technology...
I appreciate the information. However I would like to have it come from Ford Motor Company. Things that concern me in most of those posts are comments like:
: "The wire colors comply with the standard color codes. However, some folks have found a Green/Black wire instead of the Blue wire. * *...
I have read those posts. And in them I cannot find anyone who has sourced a wire code from the Ford Motor Company. There are a lot of people looking for various wires with multimeters a lot of people or having problems getting there system to work.
What kind of trailer do you have what...
When I searched etrailer.com for aftermarket trailer brake controllers for the 2019 Ranger, the only two they recommended are Wireless units that pick up the braking signal from the 7-pin connector itself. They do not currently recommend any controler that is directly connected to the Ranger...

Have you ever towed a trailer on I-65 from Indianapolis to Chicago or on I-95 from Wilmington the Virginia border. I am 77 and want to use my adaptive speed control
What kind of trailer do you tow.
Thanks for the post. I do have a copy of those instructions. This just adds to my confusion. So far I have not gotten a straight answer from the Ford Motor Company. You call customer service they tell you to see the dealer. The dealer says there is no trailer brake controller for the 2019...
Redarc appears to be engineering the Ford OEM trailer brake controller (whenever and if ever it is leased). I spoke with the Redarc technical help group last night. They said Ford is engineering a slightly different
version of their controller. It apparently has something to do with electronic...
Page 182 of the 2019 RANGER Owner’s Manual (3rd Printing, April 2019) the following warning appears:
USING ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
WARNING: Do not use the system when towing a trailer that has aftermarket electronic trailer brake controls. Failure to follow this instruction could result in...
