Brake Controller Recommendation for 2015 Ford Transit T350

If you have the round connector at the rear of your 2015 Ford Transit for trailer wiring you'd only need the part # C55774 to add a 7-way and then you'd be able to install a brake controller but you will still need to do some wiring as there isn't a port under your dash for a quick install harness.

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

Next, for a wiring kit to install the brake controller to the 7-way you would want the Wiring Kit for 2 and 4 Brake Electric Brake Controllers # 5506. This will provide the power source and ground for the wiring for the brake controller. You will need to test the wires from the brake pedal switch of your vehicle to find a circuit that has voltage when the brakes are applied and none when not applied. This will be the circuit you will run the red wire to.

Finally you will need to run a length of 10 gauge wire (part # 10-1-1) from the brake output circuit of the controller to the brake output circuit of the 7-way (blue wire). The # 10-1-1 is sold by the foot so you will need to order a quantity of the amount of feet you will need.

We have just what you'd need for that setup instead! So instead of the # 5506 and the wire you'd just need the brake controller plus the # ETBC7 kit and you'd have everything needed to install the controller and convert to a 7-way.
