I recently bought an '07 Expedition EL without the towing package and 7-way plug. It has the standard Expedition hitch receiver and 4-way plug. The intended towing use of the vehicle is to pull a relatively light weight two-horse trailer.
I know the towing capacity should be OK, as loaded weight should be only about 5,000-5,500 lbs. However, most of the bumper-pull trailers with electric brakes I've found have the 7-way plug, which would have been standard on an Expedition with the towing package.
What do I need to do to my Expedition to get it ready to tow a trailer with electric brakes and a 7-way plug?
Can the 7-way be exchanged directly for the existing 4-way?
Does the truck need complete rewiring to accommodate electric brakes?
Thanks in advance for your help.
