The correct brake controller install harness to use on your 2015 Ram Sport 1500 is the # 3024-P if you plan to use a Tekonsha brake controller.

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 setup. 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.

For your 2015 Ram 1500, I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 #90195. This is a proportional brake controller, so it will apply the brakes on your trailer at the same time you apply the brakes in your truck and with the same intensity. This controller…

You'll need a new harness part #3024-P to go along with the Tekonsha Primus IQ part #TK90160 as there was a big enough change in 2015 for the Rams that they had to come up with a new fit for it.
