Brake Controller and Install Harness Recommendation for 2016 Ram 1500

Question:

2016 Dodge Ram 1500 has the basic tow package. Purchased 05 Starcraft 2409 with slide. Need brake control as well as any components to help set up the brakes. The guy I purchased it from was clueless like myself. Thank you.

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. This will be the last brake controller you buy. It can easily be transferred to future vehicles as well.

The only other thing you need then is an install harness like part # 3024-P. This plugs in to the back of the controller and then the other end plugs in to the port under the dash of your truck.

I attached an install video that will walk you through the entire process as well.
