Question:
Good Day We have just purchased a 2018 FR3 on an F53 Chasis. Can you tell me where the connection is to plug in a Brake controller? Can you also recommend a brake controller and do I need a extra connector to reach the connector plug? Thanks

Expert Reply:
For your 2018 FR3 built on a Ford F-53 chassis there is a connection to install a brake controller located underneath the dash. I attached a picture for you to see where it's located. The correct install harness is # 3035-P.
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 as it is incredibly reliable, works, well and is easy to use. It can easily be transferred to future vehicles as well.
