Question:
Jameson, Thanks for the detailed reply. Once I have this 7-prong adapter installed, how do I use my 4-prong LED light strip when I am not using the trailer? Oh, and how do I mount this 7-prong plug under my bumper?

First thing your 2000 Ford F-350 needs is the correct 7-way adapter confirmed as a fit for your truck. For that you'd want the part # 118243 which plugs into the factory wiring of the truck and comes with all of the needed relays and fuses.
Next you'll need the install wiring adapter as well as a brake controller.
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.
For the install harness you'll then want the part # 3035-P which will allow the controller to plug into the port on your truck under the dash.
