Hey Rich, I really like the Redarc Tow Pro Liberty part # RED96CR that comes with a custom fit install harness for your 2003 Ford F-150. This controller only puts a small knob on the dash of your truck and uses an inertia sensor to determine how hard you are applying the truck brakes and applies a proportional mount of braking to your trailer brakes. You'd only need that single part number too as it comes with everything you'd need to install.
