I am considering which break controller to purchase. My first choice thus far is the Echo Mobile Brake Controller. Does anyone know if this note in the specks applies to the Ranger?
Ford F-150 (2018)
• Requires tow /haul mode activation + 7-way before the +12V output is activated on the 7-way connector. Activate tow mode and connect trailer before attempting Bluetooth connection to the Echo. The LED on the Echo must be on.
Ford F-150 (15 - 17)
• These vehicals may turn off the+12Voutputtothe7-way connector when in park or during gear shifting, making the existing vehicle wiring incompatible with the Echo. To use Echo with these vehicles, visit a CURT authorized installer to install a power wire to the battery.

I have a teknosha P3, I've already got it wired up for the Ranger, and as soon as the weather doesn't suck, I'm installing it in the truck. I expect the tow haul mode stuff is only active when you have the dealer installed option with the RedArc controller. Without that, I suspect the 12V and brake signals are constant.

You probably have tow/haul mode already, it’s the little trailer button in the center console.
