A time-delayed controller is often best for mountains but a pain everywhere else, but you can have the best of both worlds with the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Brake Controller # RED44FR.

This is definitely the best option because the Elite has a knob which allows you to set the amount of braking power you need - which will be more in the mountains and less on flat surfaces - and pressing that knob also activates the manual override should you need it. So the Elite is by far the best controller for your needs because you can ramp up the power when necessary but turn it back down again so you don't get such a jarring amount of braking on normal, flat roadways.

If your 2017 Ford F-53 doesn't have a 7-way you can complete your wiring with the Adapter 4-Pole to 7-Pole # 37185, and the correct adapter to use with the Tow-Pro Elite # RED44FR is the Plug-and-Play Wiring Harness for Redarc Tow-Pro Trailer Brake Controllers # RED87FR.
