Helpful Expert Reply:

A 1997 Ford F-150 with the factory tow package and 7-way at the rear of the truck would have a factory brake controller port under the dash. You'd need an install harness like the part # 3035-P and you'd be set.

The brake controller I recommend is the Prodigy P3 part # 90195 because this brake controller senses the amount of braking your tow vehicle is applying and puts a proportional amount of braking on the trailer's brakes. It also has a display that uses full words instead of codes that would have to be deciphered. It's our best selling brake controller because of how well it works, how reliable it is, and how easy it is to use.
