I have a really easy to use Curt brake controller solution for your 2009 Ford F-750 but we don't have any plug and play solutions like you are wanting. Instead though we have the Curt Echo Mobile part # C51180 which basically just plugs into an active 7-way and once synced to a smart phone is ready to tow. It's also a proportional brake controller which means it senses how hard you are applying the vehicle brakes and applies a proportional amount of braking pressure.

You could use the Spectrum part # C51170 if that's the style of controller you were wanting. You'll just have to hardwire it to the 7-way of your truck. For a wiring kit to install the brake controller to the 7-way you would want the Wiring Kit for 2 and 4 Brake Electric Brake Controllers # 5506. This will provide the power source and ground for the wiring for the brake controller. You will need to test the wires from the brake pedal switch of your vehicle to find a circuit that has voltage when the brakes are applied and none when not applied. This will be the circuit you will run the red wire to. Finally you will need to run a length of 10 gauge wire (part # 10-1-1) from the brake output circuit of the controller to the brake output circuit of the 7-way (blue wire). The # 10-1-1 is sold by the foot so you will need to order a quantity of the amount of feet you will need.
