Review on Enhance Road Safety with Bully CR-007A Tail and Brake Light by Duane Barker

Will not work in 2018 F350

Purchased for a 2018 Ford F350. I tow a 5th wheel so I don't need anything in a Class V hitch so I figured it would be a cheap safety feature when we detached from our rig. This mostly happens as the F350 is our everyday driver. First, the length of the power cord is not long enough. You need at least 4 more inches. So I had to buy a 2 foot extension and wait another week before installing it. If it is fitted to a Class IV towbar that fits into a Class V towbar as a socket, the foam compression ring is too loose. Putting 2 of these on top of each other would keep everything from rattling. So a week later my 2 foot extension comes in and I hook everything up. Seems to be working fine until I drive the car. At our campsite I keep getting messages on the dashboard with the corresponding annoying pings/sounds. First it says the trailer is connected. Then after 10 seconds it says the fob is disabled and it continues to alternate between these two messages at 10 second intervals. It's a constant repetition of PAIN. So I'm going back and unhitching it to stop getting annoying messages on the dashboard. So it seems useless for my car. However, all is not lost. I have a Jayco fifth wheel bike with a class 3 clutch. Now I've moved it to this clutch. I haven't tried it, but I hope g truck problems don't show up in the Jayco trailer/hitch assembly. If so I just cut off all the wires and just use it as a reflector. Really a shame as I wanted the brake light to have some extra security on my truck.

Pros
  • Wiring harness plugs into your car's existing 4 pin connector
Cons
  • There are new competitors
