Default Can Integrated Brake Controller be added?

If I buy or lease an XLT that has the trailer tow package but doesn't have the integrated trailer brake controller, can the dealer install the factory Ford controller?

Yes, you can also install it yourself and activate it with Forscan.

I install one myself and paid $55 to activate it. This was before I knew what Forscan was. The software is free and the cable is around $30 and you can use it for a lot of other things also.

is it possible to post this part?

Remove the center LH Instrument Panel (IP) finish panel. For additional information, refer to
Workshop Manual (WSM) Section 501-12.

I am looking at doing mines soon.

Thanks!

Are you asking what part the instructions are referring to? If so this is what it looks like:

I bought the controller from a local dealer $120, then installed it myself using "you tube".
Then had same dealer "flash" it for $69
Works perfect.............
