Brake Controller Recommendation for 2005 Ford F-150 with 4-Way

Question:

Hello I have a 2005 Ford F-150 that has a 4 pin trailer harness. I need to make it a 7 pin harness so I can tow my new double axel flat bed trailer with trailer brakes. What products would I need to make this happen? Looking for plug and play with minimal wire splicing but open to any options that are available. Please let me know and thank you.

To install a brake controller in your 2005 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 # 37185 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.
