I installed the Ford controller, but not without some pain. Everything went good until I got to the part where I had to use the grey or black connectors for the third brake light connections. In short, the I had a hard time getting the wires to fit inside the cheap connectors and ended up...

That would be great! TY!

I'm about to install the Ford controller and I have been pushing it off because I hate the idea of having to run that wire to the third brake light. I must have missed a post or two. What wire have others tapped into to avoid having to run the wire? Near the fuse box?

Good news! I first did the map update to 119. That dam thing took 2 hours and I almost turned off my truck to start over. Info now shows I have the 119 version. I also repeated the sync update using the files from the other vin, worked perfectly. That one took about 20 minutes and it wrote...

The files in the zip file for my VIN match exactly with the files in the zip file for the VIN from post 206. The only difference is the missing file. Sounds like you have different files altogether. Thanks guys for the tips on the map update. I found the email and the link still worked. I...

Thanks for the help. Ford needs to clean this process up, very sloppy. For the Map update to 119, I went to that site and all it offers is for me to buy a $40. flash drive with the new map files. Is there no way to just download for free? Do we have to pay the $40. each time they update the...

I updated my 2019 Lariat and had the same issue with no log file. Mine took about 30 minutes and then a message popped and said Restarting...and then another message popped up and said the update was complete, remove usb....before I could even read the rest of the message, the screen went dark...

@PowerstrokeNC Nice trailer! That is what I'm looking for. Can you post details here? I'm looking for overall length, weight empty, payload weight, and inside measurements I was looking at one that could hall my 2008 Mustang, but those are just too heavy, puts me right at the 7500lb limit...

Very cool and thanks for sharing the experience with us. I don't mind driving slow and even stopping if too windy. you never should be in a hurry when towing. Just to confirm, the 7500 lbs is fully loaded, water tanks full, all camping gear, food, BEER, etc ? Did you have it weighted after...

I'm looking at this one, but I need more information on the inside measurements. They say 18', but is that tongue to trailer tail lights? If yes, then the inside is much shorter, meaning it may have space for a car that is only 16' long, as example. Thoughts on Homesteader brand? Is the...

Thanks for the additional information, it helps. I agree Ford really screwed up on this one. I just hope they learn from this and don't repeat it in future trucks. I have the official Ford kit too, but I haven't installed it yet. I'm not looking forward to running the wire to the third brake...

Problem not solved yet. I tried using the Dupont, but this one is in bottle and I cannot get my hand in there to pour it on, so that isn't going to work. I need a spray. My local shop only carries Blaster dry lube. I sprayed half a can and it did nothing at all to quiet the chipmunks I'm...

wow, how long is that trailer? I'm surprised the weight is that low for a trailer that big. I might have to look at that brand

Thanks, that's good to know. Most of the trailers we are looking at would be closer to the 7500 when fully loaded up.

wow, so you are towing at the full max weight allowed at 7500 lbs? I guess that is water tanks full, and loaded with all the food and camping gear, yes? How did it handle from side to side winds? I guess weight has a lot to do with acceleration, but more importantly, braking. Which brake...

I went to treat that waste gate linkage today and realized that I don't really know where to put the lube. My bottle is not a spray, so I was thinking I just pour a little on the top side of the control actuator. At first I was thinking to lube the linkage, but I don't think that will help...

Thanks for the tip. It was sure hard to find this product, I had to go to ebay. None of my local shops carry it.

Thanks for posting the instructions. You're right, they do suck, as most of their instructions do. I also agree with all of the comments here. Ford really screwed up by not having a 5th wire down in the kick panel that already went to the third brake light. I did buy the vkb3z-2c006-a, but it...

Thank you for the extra details. I don't really know why, I went ahead and purchased the Ford approved controller. The only bummer I see is having to run that wire to the third brake light. Has anyone made a video of that part, showing how the panels come off, etc? It would seem that the...
