I need a brake controller for a 2019 Ford Ranger. The trailer is a single axle. I have been looking at the Redarc. What is the difference between the elite and the liberty? Thanks

The Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller part # RED24FR and the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller part # RED44FR have two primary differences. The Elite can toggle between a user controlled (time delayed) mode for the trailer brakes for off road use and proportional mode, while the Liberty operates only proportionally. The Elite is rated for up to 3 axles whereas the Liberty is rated for up to 2 axles.

If you won't be operating your trailer off-road, the # RED24FR Redarc Liberty is what I'd suggest. You'll also need the vehicle specific wiring harness, part # 331-TPH-007. If you click the provided link, you can see a video showing the Tow Pro Elite being installed on a 2019 Ford Ranger. The installation would be identical for the Liberty.

If you want to install the controller exactly as shown in the video, you can use the # 331-TPSI-003 mounting bezel.

Hi Jim; it can be hard to tell but the #RED67CR does include the custom wiring harness for your 2017 Lincoln Navigator. This will allow for a plug and play installation using your factory tow port.
