Expert Reply:
The best brake controller solution I can recommend for your 2020 Ford F-450 Cab and Chassis is definitely the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller part # RED44FR. What's great about this controller is that is a very similar design to a factory brake controller in that only requires a small knob get installed on your dash. I attached a picture of what it looks like installed on a dash as well as a review video for more info as well.
This provides your truck with a very clean look and will allow you to mount it in many different locations whereas a standard brake controller will need to be in a certain position/angle. The correct plug-in harness is the Redarc Plug-and-Play Wiring Harness for Tow-Pro Trailer Brake Controllers part # 331-TPH-005. The plug-in harness will be located either behind the coin tray in the dash or up under the driver side dash near the emergency brake pedal. If it's behind the coin try then you need to remove the panel you see in the attached picture in order to find the plug, but if it's under the dash then you should not need to remove anything.
