Recommended Brake Controller for 2014 Ford F-150 With Factory 7-Way

Question:

I am looking at brake controllers for a 2015 f150. Some say 4 flat and 7 pin connectors . I have factory installed 4 flat and 7pin combo . Which do I choose ? Also could you recommend one for around the 100 bucks ? Thank you much

The correct choice would be with factory 7-way, although the custom wiring harness is the same for the 4-way option. I highly recommend choosing a proportional brake controller for your 2015 F-150. Proportional brake controllers activate trailer brakes in proportion to your vehicle's braking action.

The Tekonsha Primus IQ 3 # TK90160 is going to be the best choice close to the price point you're looking for. The # 22292 will plug into the factory port under your dash for an easy installation. This brake controller has an LED display along with built-in safeguards protect your vehicle, trailer, and the controller. It also comes with a limited lifetime warranty.

If you're willing to spend just a little bit more you could get the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty # RED24FR which is my favorite brake controller. This is incredibly reliable and won't take up space in the cab of your truck. The main unit installs out of site so only the control knob will be visible. The knob controls the braking power and also acts as the manual override. The Redarc Plug-and-Play Wiring Harness # 331-TPH-007 will also be required.

I have attached some installation videos below for your reference.
