The color coding of vehicle does not correspond to the color coding of 2020 Ford F350. I need to wire Dakota to correspond with 2020 Ford as both vehicles tow some of the same trailers.

I am just trying to understand what you are looking for. Do you want the wiring diagrams for both vehicles?

If you are towing the same trailers with both trucks then you need to get the trucks to operate with the trailers not so that the Dodge is like the Ford.

These trucks are 20 years apart so the technology is very different. You are not going to get the Dodge to operate like the Ford because they are just two different animals.

Lastly what are you having issues with when towing the trailers? I imagine the Dodge is not operating as well as the Ford. If that is the case, what is not operating when the Dodge is towing the trailer? Is it the trailer lights or brakes? If it is the brakes then do you have a trailer brake controller on the Dodge?

The Dakota wiring has differnt coloring than the Ford. After reading some your previous comments I resigned myself to check each wires function with checker and match to the Ford connector. I want to thank you very much. You provide an excellent service for those of us who need it I have provided 95% of mechanical work for my own company for over 40 years but always problems auto electrics. Thank you again
