I was looking at the 7-pin towing connector review etrailer Accessories and Parts - ETBC7.  A comment was made that some cars already have the pre-wiring and connector under the dashboard. I have the the class II towing package preinstalled so I'm wondering if I already have the 7-pin wiring preinstalled. I guess simply looking will answer this question. A little friendly knowledge will be helpful.

 

Thanks.

Curious if you have any photos of where you mounted your brake controller.

This a good series towing conversation.  I have a 2019 Edge SEL AWD with the class ii trailer towing package. I'm looking to upgrade my trailer electric connector from a 4-pin to a 7-pin, and add a brake controller.  Curious if anyone has done this trailer towing upgrade? How and where did they install the 7-pin connector, photos would be helpful. Any other advise.

 

I'm considering towing an older Galaxy StarCraft popup trailer. The trailer curb weight is about 1,500 lbs.  I live in Colorado so going up possible 6-7 grade hills. The car fully loaded with 3 adults and 2 teenagers, plus all the traveling cargo. I know I should get a truck to two this popup trailer but I see Poontanghooligan pulling his custom trailer makes me think I could tow a trailer at half the weight.

I just found this forum while web search maintenance items. I'm a 3 1/2 owner of my 2019 Ford Edge SEL.  I try and keep my vehicles a long time doing as much of the maintenance myself.  Looking forward to see what upgrade options to plan.
