Broncos Pulling Trailers Pics - Add Yours

[tomfoolery]

Welcome to Texas! Well Austin isn’t exactly typical Texas, but at least you’re in or close to the hill country.

Thank you! Very much looking forward to experiencing the Texas hill country. Just need to find a good group to off-road with!

Yours has a Ford factory installed brake controller then? No controller is a major reason I havent bought a Bronce yet. To me thats like not having a trailer hitch

No factory brake controller. (not offered on the 2023 Bronco).
My Bronco had the factory tow package, it does not include the brake controller.
I had to purchase an aftermarket Redarc brake controller and install it. It is "plug and play" the wiring connector is already there.

All my older Ford trucks require an aftermarket brake controller to be installed. The wiring, relay, fuses, 7 & 4 way connectors were all there.

Does that 07 Lariat have a factory brake controller?

There is no option for a factory installed brake controller.

I've been waiting for them to add one and rain sensing wipers before I order a Bronco.
In my opinion Ford makes the best brake controler i have ever owned at least the one in my F250 is.

It’s good to know the wiring is there and there’s a aftermarket plug-n play option.
My 2002 Excursion had a brake controller. I don’t know if it was Ford or aftermarket but all I had to do is unplug it and plug it into my 2003 when I got home with it. Still works great.
It still amazes me how many people ordered their Bronco without the towing package…. It was cheap if you consider your time and trouble worth something. Time is money.

I'm going with this one for a future trailer purchase. Same as @Rydfree

From the install vids there are still 2 wires that need to run back to the hitch along the chasis, but the interior plug-ins are very plug and play for the Bronco.
