I do have trailer brake controller options for a 2020 Ford Transit T350 but there are no trailer brake controller wiring provisions. Therefore, you must hardwire the controller which involves running wires from the battery to the cab and then from the cab to the trailer connector. We offer kits for this exact purpose like the Curt Universal Wiring Kit for Trailer Brake Controllers part # C51500. This will then allow you to install any standard trailer brake controller like the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller part # RED44FR. I have attached a diagram below.
