Hey Brett, if you were looking for a solid brake controller that works great and doesn't break the bank either the Tekonsha Brake EVN part # TK48BR would be a great option that comes with a custom harness for your truck so it just plugs right in and is ready to go. This is a traditional style of brake controller that mounts to the dash.
If were looking for more of a low profile brake controller the Redarc Tow Pro Liberty part # RED87CR would be what you want. This puts a small knob on the dash of your truck so it's very similar to an OEM style brake controller.
