Hey Folks, Love all the collaboration here.
I have a 5000lb UVW Travel Trailer on order, and prepping my TV - a 2020 RAM 1500, 5.7Hemi (non-eco) LARAMIE CREW CAB 4X4, with the 3.92 axel. I DON'T have the tow package, which is why I kept the TT weight reasonable. My truck has a tow capacity of a little over 11,000lb. I got the Equalizer e4 hitch as well.
BUT, I need a brake controller. Right now, one easy answer is to get a Curt Echo electronic brake controller that plugs into the 7 way connector and connects to the truck's brakes - about $230. However I'm real curious whether anyone knows if the 2020 Laramie's as above (without tow package) are wired under the dash or steering wheel somewhere for an easy brake controller hookup?
I'm still researching the Curt thing, so I'm open to your feedback about it. But I'm also really interested if if my TV model is wired for it. And if so, how much it might be to have someone wire it.
