Expert Reply:
To install a brake controller in your 2015 Ford F-150 with an integrated controller you need the correct install harness part # 22292 and you'd be set. You'll get an error code on your truck dash until you take it to a dealer to have that turned off.
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 set up. 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.
