I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller for your 2022 Ford F-150. This brake controller is proportional so once you have it adjusted to your trailer it will automatically adjust braking output for light and severe braking situations. This will help keep you from worrying about reaching down to adjust the trailer brake pressure is those situations. The LCD screen is customizable and the built in diagnostics help you to troubleshoot any issues that might occur with the trailer braking system.

The Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter # 22292 will make the installation virtually plug and play as you will only need to attach the mounting bracket for the controller to your dash after you plug into the factory connection under your dash.

Your article says to use adaptor 22292 on a 2022 Ford F150. However, when I select that item; its says it does not fit my truck which is a 2022 F150.

@Michael do you have a factory tow port on your 2022 F-150 for a brake controller? If not, it is likely at the time this answer was written we weren't aware of a change in the F-150. Ford still uses this connector on current models like the F-250 and F-350. If you don't see the plug that matches this wiring harness connector under the dash it is safe to assume you have to splice for installation.
