For your 2005 Ford F-250, I recommend the 7- and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Socket w/ Mounting Bracket - Vehicle End #HM40975 if you have a factory 7-way or factory 4-way. If you prefer the look of the #118243 which is not a confirmed fit, I recommend…

It sounds like you have the factory 7-way and while there is a replacement wiring harness available the part you mentioned, the Ford Replacement OEM Tow Package Wiring Harness #118243, is not a fit for your 2004 Ford F-350. This harness is only a fit…
