Question:
How does a brake controller install in my 2018 Ford Transit T250 and which would I want?

Expert Reply:
Your 2018 Ford Transit T250 is not pre-wired for a brake controller so you'll need to hardwire one in after installing trailer wiring. The kit you'll need for the brake controller install is the part # ETBC7 which I attached an install video for on a 2015 Transit T250 for you to check out. It will walk you through the entire process. You'll need to have a 4-way installed on your vehicle as well which for that best option is our part # C56327 which is the most reliable kit we offer for your vehicle.
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.
