Expert Reply:
What you need to tow a trailer with electric brakes is a 7-way trailer connector and a brake controller. So for a 7-way kit that fits your 2015 Ford Transit T350 you will need the Curt T-Connector # C56327 and the Universal Install Kit # ETBC7 which comes with everything needed to install a fully functional 7-way and the wiring needed for a brake controller.
Then for a brake controller the Brake EVN # TK63VR is a really great option. It's proportional which means it senses how hard you are applying the vehicle brakes and then applies an equal amount of trailer brakes.
I attached an install video for a similar brake controller made by the same manufacturer in a 2016 Ford Transit for you to check out as well.
