Just bought a 2018 F350 which came from the factory with the box delete option (no bed). I think the previous owner had a service bed on it and removed it before they traded it in. The car lot I got it off of has installed a 2022 bed with trailer hitch with connector (all ford).
The truck itself did not come with a trailer brake controller, but I will need one for sure.
The question is, Can I just get a factory controller and plug it in??? Would like to use the factory hole in the dash (has a coin holder there now).
Yes, and make sure you get a Ford OEM, knock offs often are problems. You will need to activate the TBC at a Ford Dealer, or have someone with Forscan do it.
