The OEM controller in your 2011 Ford F-350 is actually very similar to the Tekonsha Prodigy brake controllers so you wouldn't need to add an aftermarket controller unless you absolutely wanted to. There should be a setting for electric over hydraulic (EOH) brakes that you choose for this. If you do decide to use an aftermarket then I highly recommend the Prodigy P2 # 90885 because you will already be somewhat familiar with how to use it. All you need to complete the installation is the Adapter # 3034-P which plugs into the connector located behind your dash (see attached installation instructions for the adapter).

For your Cedar Creek 36CKTS I recommend using the HydraStar Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator Kit # HBA-10-252-82 with the Dexter Hydraulic Trailer Brake Kit # 23-342-343 (one for each axle) if you want drum brakes or the HydraStar Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator Kit # HBA16-252-82 with the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2HR79E (one for each axle) for a disc brake setup. The HydraStar EOH actuators are some of the most reliable out there which is why I recommend going with them.

The kits I referenced above come with the brake lines and a breakaway battery kit as well as the HydraStar actuator so the only other thing that you need is a 7-Way like what comes with the Wiring Kit # HS381-9000 if you need to replace your current one or simply want an easier way to make all of your connections.

I have attached some videos for each product that you can check out.
