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 will be the last brake controller you buy. It can easily be transferred to future vehicles as well. The other controllers you mentioned are decent but for the money you really would be best served with the P2.

To install this controller in your 2016 Ram 1500 all you need is the part # 3024-P which connects to the back of the controller and then to the port under your dash. Once that's done the controller is ready to be mounted and you're done.
