Question:

p/n 30717 adapter If I install this and an electric brake controller using the 3035-p cable to tap into factory wiring harness, is there other necessary electrical hardware to install? Or, are the circuit breakers and wiring already in place under the hood?

To install a brake controller in your 2008 Ford F-150 you would be able to use the brake controller port under the dash and you will need to complete the wiring at the rear of your vehicle to the 7-way at the rear of the truck.

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.

The install harness you would want is the part # 3035-P and then also the part # 30717 to convert the 4-way to a 7-way. I attached a help article that details how to complete the wiring from the frame rail to the 7-way as well.
