Does this reese brakeman have everything in it I need to put trailer brake hookup on a 79 f250 other than a female plug??

No on my f150 I had to splice into the brake light switch . You must also have a no 10 wire going to your control from the battery ,then back to the plug. It takes the heavy wire to handle the amps necessary to apply the brakes.

Yes you just have to wire it and do the adjustments to set it up and you're good to go.

this is a great item and it does need a femaie plug or what ever fits your tow vehicle;;;if your truck has a tow packag.

you will need one wire to run from the reese towpower to the female plug on the back of your 79 F250

yes it will fit.... you will need the plug it goes in the fuse box next to the left of the brake pedal on the fire wall ... the plug will have 4 wires that connect to the brake controller they are all this way you can get the plug at tractor supply or auto parts about 6 dollars if you dont have the fuse box were the plug goes you will have to hard wire it its not a bad job just takes a little time to do should have directions with the brake controller hope this helps

You get the brake controller with a universal plug, a screw in mount and a quick release mount. You will need to get an adapter for your specific vehicle, unless you plan on wiring it into your vehicle's system yourself. You also get a storage case

no, my gm van had the wiring for the trailer brakes from the 7 way plug coiled up under the carpet on the drivers side, no plug just wires. The other lights etc. were factory wired to the 7 way plug. I had to make the connections for the brake controller, I think it was 3 wires, they were color coded, it was easy to install.

If it uses the standard plug under the dash it should be wired correctly for your towing package. Mine plugged right in and worked perfectly. I have a F150

I would contact tinkern themselves to be sure! Mines a 04 f250 I'm pretty sure there the same but would check with them to be safe !

Yes. I had it on a 2005 f250 then bought a 2012 f350 and bought same plug again.

Yes. Comes with two different mounting bracket options and all the hardware. Also comes with pig-tail wiring to be able to wire it to your truck's trailer system and just plug in the unit. Comes with wire-nuts, everything. I opted to buy a wiring kit for it that came with a plug system that was specific to my truck model and year and make it literally a plug and play installation. It was like $10-$11 and well worth it.

Yes, you need a specific harness in addition to this kit. They are very inexpensive. That way it will just plug in to your oem trailer brake harness.

yes and no, I had one of these and the out put was so touchy that it would either lock up the brakes on my light trailer or no braking feel at all. I traded up for the $99 #51130 unit that takes the same wiring harness. Either way you have to wire it in.

No i use it for my Dodge 2500 daily with a lawn trailer with no brakes on it. Works like a dream on all trucks etc with this fitting. Much easier than crawling under truck to hook up to 4 pin connector. Works perfect with or without electric brakes.

Seems like overkill. If tow vehicle already has separate brake light circuit, then tap into it and run a wire to the new trailer brake light (hopefully via a spare pin in the connector).You need this device to connect a US style vehicle with a 2-wire (shared turn, brake and tail light bulb) to a 3-wire trailer system with separate turn signal bulb as found in European vehicles.

Mine came only with a generic pigtail - connector on one end plugs into the brake controller but bare wires on the other that you would have to splice into your car wiring. If your car is pre-wired for a brake controller it is much easier to get the adapter - I got the one for the Ford Flex, think it was $10-15.

You will need a adapter if your car is ready to tow. And if not check YouTube for brake controller wiring.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think that you would need a 4 pin wiring harness, I think the 8 pin wiring is for big trailers (travel trailers) that use electronic brakes, etc... But you could probably Google it.

If you use the reese towpower you'll need to run a number ten wire from the battery to the controller. Then back to your seven pin connector. You need the heavy wire to supply enough amps to activate the brakes.
