Sorry if this is a duplicate, but I can't seem to find a thread with what advice I'm looking at.

I have a 2015 5.0 Screw 2WD, and I have the glorious change holder where my trailer brake control should be (who even bought this truck?). So, I'm looking at adding the trailer brake controller, but I'm wondering if there's definitely a harness behind my change holder that will allow me to plug 'n play the OEM controller, or if I'm wandering into territory I don't necessarily want to venture into. My local RV dealer has plenty of aftermarket options, but those also require a harness that's supposed to plug 'n play with a receiver in the dash. The truck DOES have the 7-pin plug.

Ideas and experiences?

Look.

 

This. My friend bought a 2017 and I went to look and it's not as easy as it was on the 12th gens. You have to take it apart as if you're going to install it to even find out if you have it.

 

My 2015 5.0 with the Tow Package had the wiring harness installed behind the change holder.

 

I added the trailer brake controller to my '16 and the plug was there

 

Very intuitive. Thank you!

 

The harness is actually plugged into the back of the cubby/coin holder.
It's not that difficult to take that part of the dash apart especially if you have a column shifter. If you have a center console shifter...just a tad more difficult. There are some YouTube videos to guide you.
After installing mine, that I picked up on Ebay for $80 (?) a flash programmer for 4d Tech was used to activate it. You can do that or use Forscan or take it to a dealer. I don't have a Windows laptop so the flash programmer was the easiest route.

 

Awesome! Thank you for the info!

 

My 15 XLT had the harness plugged into the back of the cubby thing. You will need Forscan to enable the TBC if you want to save a trip to the dealer.

 

Thanks to all that provided experience! I watched a couple YouTube videos and I've got the parts coming in Sunday. 💪
