Yes we have the Prodigy P2 part # 90885 which would be a really excellent choice for a brake controller for your 2017 Ford E-450 with the install harness part # 22292 and you'd be set.

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.
