If you don't already have a 7 way connector on the rear of your 2019 Ford F-150, you'll need to start there. I recommend using the # ETBC7L, which will give you the 7 way connector you need for a trailer with brakes. When it comes to a brake controller I recommend using the Curt Echo Mobile # C51180, which won't require any wiring inside the vehicle and will provide you with proportional braking for your trailer. The Echo is controlled by your Andriod (4.4 or newer) or iOS (8.0 or newer) smart phone and plugs directly into the 7 way on your truck; from there, the trailer plugs into the Echo and after pairing with your phone, you're ready to get on the road. This is my favorite solution because of how easy it is to install and use, and our customers seem to love it too (check out the 213 reviews).
I've linked some videos on how to install the ETBC7L and a review of the Echo for you to have a look at.
