Question:
Can a aftermarket electric brake controller be used on my 2016 Dodge Ram. I do have the towing package and looked under my dash and did see the connector that was referenced in the how to video.

Yes, you can install an aftermarket brake controller in your 2016 or 2017 Ram 1500. All you need is the correct harness to match the connector you mentioned seeing, part # 3024-P.
For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P3 Brake Controller part # 90195. 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.
