For your brake controller, I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 # 90885 or the Primus IQ # TK90160. Both of these controllers are proportional controllers that will install in the same way on your truck. You will need to use the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller - 7-Way RV and 4-Way Flat # ETBC7 to hardwire this controller to make it work with your factory 4-way wiring connector.
I've attached an installation video for you and have also linked an article to assist.
