Hey guys I am new to the Forum and I have a few questions. I have a 2015 Expedition with the 3.5 ecoboost. I am looking at buying a travel trailer. The research I have done says my max tow weight is 6600lbs. The trailer weights 5700lbs. So here are my questions. I do have a weight distribution hitch and I have 3.31 axles
1. I don't not have a factory brake controller. I have removed the little black cubby hole and the wiring for a controller is their. I have called my local dealership and they said they can not order me a factory one. i have found them online. If i buy one online do I need the PCM to be refreshed in order to work correctly? Is this even an option? Or should I just buy a under the dash mounted model? I have already wired in the 7 way connector.
2. I looked and did not see a transmission cooler. I have also called the dealer, they ran the vin to confirm that I do not have one. I consider myself to be a weekend wrench bender but I have never installed a transmission cooler. Does anyone have any recommendations? are they very difficult to install?
Thanks
