Brake Controller Recommendation for 2017 Ford F-350
Question:
Im looking for a brake controller for my 2017 F-350. I primarily pull a 2 axle trailer up to 10,000 lbs. You have so many options that I dont know which one to choose. My priorities are 1 easy to install, 2 reliable, 3 and inexpensive. I dont need any fancy features, just to be able to adjust how much power goes to the trailer brakes to account for the difference in weight between loaded and empty. What are your suggestions? Thanks.

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.
To install it in your 2017 Ford F-350 only requires the install harness # 22292.
This adapter plugs into the built-in connector beneath your vehicle's dashboard. To access this connector, first locate the instrument cluster finish panel in the center of you dash, near the driver's side. Carefully pry the panel out and undo the locking tabs to remove the panel. Plug the adaptor into the mating connector in the large gray housing behind the panel.
