Brake Controller and 7-Way Recommendation for 2016 Ford F-150 With OEM 4-Way
Question:
Brake controller and 7 way for a 2016 Ford F150. It is a factory 4 way and I need to upgrade to a 7

Expert Reply:
I recommend going with the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 for your 2016 Ford F-150. This will connect to your F-150 using the Wiring Adapter # 22292. To upgrade to a 7-Way connector you'll need the T-One # 118283. If you'd like to have both a 4-Way and a 7-Way then you can use the Hopkins Connector # HM40950 instead of the normal 7-Way that the T-One comes with.
I really like the P3 because it has an easy-to-read LCD screen and storable settings so that you can easily switch between brake settings for different trailers. I have attached a video for you to reference if you'd like.
