There are only a handful of people who even have a 2022 at this time so odds are you likely won't find someone who has done that yet. Having said that, there are a lot of smart folks on this forum so I'm sure someone will have some incite. You would think the 21/22 F150 brake controller would be the same as Ford wants to share parts where they can. Not having wires behind that blank doesn't sound good IMO as I thought the older (18-21) had that wiring regardless of the tow package.
I'm thinking if Ford didn't need to put something in the vehicle that MIGHT get used they just didn't. With all the supply issues I'm sure that's going to be very common these days.

I have a 2022 expedition timerline, it is not equipped with the heavy tow package. However, I have been looking for the components for the intergraded trailer brake. I have came up with a few parts. As you can see the pig tail is different. I did get a part number off a Expedition Timberline that has one factory installed. The plug that both pig tails plug into, appears to be the same. At this point finding the pig tail is the issue. I am actively looking, I am close. I am not sure ”yet“ if the complete pro towing backing is fully needed. More to follow
Thanks for finding all these parts, any luck on the pigtail yet?

The pigtail is the one for use of aftermarket trailer brake controller. I installed the parts I have, I’m still working on the pigtail.

I’ll start with a 2018 F150. Bought one new without the brake controller since they were not available when we bought the truck. Purchased one a year later from the Ford dealer and installed it myself. It was plug and play. No harness, it pushed into a set of installed contacts. To get the truck to see and function you need to purchase a special cable which you can find on Amazon, install FORScan on your laptop and sign up for a year at a minimal cost. There are a number of YouTube videos on how to program the brake controller. Very simple, just take your time.

Our 2018 Expedition came with with the brake controller so I did not have to repeat the process from our truck. Fast forward now to the 22. Ford makes one brake controller to fit multiple vehicles. Ford sells a short wire harness that is suppose to plug into an existing location that will link the brake controller to the truck. Do some research you should find what you need.

Thanks, I've tried looking at the online parts diagrams and haven't been able to find the pigtail pn listed. I was kind of hoping doug would be able to find it.

With Ford Transit vans starting in MY 2020- if you did not order the OEM Factory controller there is NO WAY to add one. Ed Bowers, aka crewvanman is a super knowledgeable sales person at Gary Crossley Ford in Kansas City. He verified this after speaking with his contacts at Ford.

The best solution is the Curt Echo, and that is what I am using on my Transit Van. I do have the OEM on my Expedition and knew they were fairly easy to add it it didn't come with one, yet that seems to have all changed starting with 2020 models.

Met someone recently towing with a 2022 Explorer ST and just like my van- he had the HD Tow Package, yet NO OEM TBC.

Below is a link with 221 posts on the Ford Transit Forum about this topic. If you start with the very last post, keep in mind the congratulations for getting it to work is for a 2019 van.
