Which Brake Controller and Wiring Adapter Is Best for a 1998 Ford Expedition
Question:
I am looking to purchase a brake control for my RV setup. I own a 1998 Ford Expedition 5.4 V-8. It came with the trailer tow package, so it has the plug under the dash. I tow a 2006 K-Z JAG 20J 20foot trailer approx 3,500lbs. Can you recommend a good quality, preferably proportional, easy to install, control? I have never installed one. However, if all I have to do is plug in and mount, no problem. Please advise and I will order.

Your install is pretty much a plug and play type installation. I would recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P2, part # 90885 and wiring adapter # 3035-P. Its great performance and ease of setup would make it a great choice. One end would plug into the port under the dash, the other into the controller. It could not be easier! I've linked you to an install video showing a brake controller being installed on a 2000 model Expedition.
