Hello, Im needing recommendations for adding brake controller and hitch to 1966 Ford F250, Im going to be towing a 2-horse trailer that weighs 3200 lbs and tongue weight 200. It currently has 7 pin on it that is frayed and I need to replace wiring. Thanks Kristen

Expert Reply:
For a hitch, I'd recommend the Draw-Tite # 41001.
For a brake controller, I'd recommend the Prodigy P2 Trailer Brake Controller, part # 90885 and the # 20127 pigtail. To replace your existing 7-way, go with the # HM40975-11998 (be sure to pay attention to the wiring color code on the linked product description page). You'll also need the # 5506 brake controller installation kit.
I'll link to a help article that fully explains how to install a brake controller.
