Question:
I'm really looking for an inexpensive trailer brake controller as it will only get used once. What would you recommend
asked by: Josh
Expert Reply:
For your 1998 Ford F-150 Extended Cab with factory 4-way flat, you need the Tekonsha Ford Replacement OEM Tow Package Wiring Harness, 7-Way # 118242. This will give you the two additional relays needed as well as the wiring harness.
Then you will need a brake controller. I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 as well as the wiring adapter # 3035-P. This will give you an easy to use proportional brake controller with easy to use presets as well as a nice LCD screen for diagnostics. The custom wiring connector is easy to install with the factory plug located beneath the dash, near the center console.
Let me know if you have further questions.

Does that harness come with a bracket to bolt to bumper?
