Recommended Brake Controller for a 2019 Freightliner XC-Series Chassis

Question:

I have a motorhome on a 2019 Freightliner XC chassis and I want to install a wired brake controller. What do I need? I have the wiring already for the brake controller.

I highly recommend using the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 for your 2019 Freightliner XC-Series chassis because the P3 has a nice LCD screen that makes it easy to read and make adjustments, plus you have the ability to save various settings depending on what you might be towing behind you. I'm not aware of any plug-n-play connectors on your chassis but you should be able to splice in the included pigtail to the existing wiring on your motorhome. Simply match the following wire colors of the P3 pigtail to the following functions on your motorhome:

Blue - 7-Way Output to Trailer
Black - 12V Power
White - Ground
Red - COLD Side of Stop Light Switch (only gets hot when brake pedal is pressed)

Let me know if you have any other questions and I'd be more than happy to answer them!
