Hey Matthew, to install a brake controller and 7-way in your 2000 Ford F-150 so that you can control the brakes of your trailer what you'd need is a brake controller like the Brake EVN part # TK83BR which comes with the correct install harness and then the 7-way kit custom fit for your truck with the part # 118242 and you'd be set. What are you towing?
