For your 2005 Ford F350 that has the factory installed brake controller port you will need the Tekonsha Wire Replacement for 2005-07 Ford Super Duty, # 3065-P. This will have a plug on one end that will plug into the factory brake controller port and the other end will plug into a Tekonsha brake controller.

The Tekonsha Wiring Harness, # 3035-P, will not fit on your 2005 Ford F350.

If you need a brake controller I would recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Brake Controller, # 90885. The Prodigy 2 brake controller is our best selling model. It can be mounted in a 360 degree vertical range and will level itself automatically. It is a proportional brake controller which means that the brakes are applied to the trailer at the same time and same strength as the brakes on your truck.

If you have the factory 7-way trailer connector on the rear of your vehicle that is all you will need to tow your trailer using a brake controller.

If you have the factory 4-flat trailer connector on the rear of your vehicle you will need to use the Hopkins 4 Pole to 7 Pole and 4 Pole, # 37185. This Hopkins adapter will plug into your new 4-way and mount on the rear of your vehicle.The four remaining wires will need to be hardwired to the corresponding circuits on the vehicle. The white (ground) wire will need to be attached to the vehicle frame, the black (12 volt power) wire is connected to the vehicles battery through a 40-amp circuit breaker, the blue (trailer brake) wire will be connected to the blue trailer brake feed wire on the brake controller, and the purple ( auxiliary) wire is for reverse lights if you need that circuit. If any of these connections are not needed just wire tie them up out of the way for future use.

I am sending a video link to a brake controller and the Hopkins adapter being installed on a 1999 Ford F250. The vehicle is different but the wiring principle is the same.
