Expert Reply:

For your 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 with the factory 7-Way trailer connector I recommend the Tekonsha P2, # 90885, because its easy to set up and use and it is reliable. This is a proportional controller that will apply the trailer brakes in proportion to how much the Ram is braking. This is the safest way to stop and it reduces wear and tear on the trailer and vehicle brakes.

To plug in the controller to your truck you will need wiring harness # 3020-P. I have included a link to a video showing an example installation of the brake controller set up for you.
