For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. This is a proportional brake controller that senses the amount of braking the tow vehicle is applying and applies a proportionate amount to the trailer brakes. This controller also has a full display on it that uses full words instead of codes to decipher. If there are any problems with the setup it will spell out exactly what the problem is. This is the nicest setup around.
To install this controller will only require the # 3015-P which will plug into a junction box under the dash of your truck.
I attached an install video and help article that will walk you through the entire process.
