Brake controller question

I have an 06 F150XL, 2wd, 4.2, auto. I need to put a seven pin connecter on the truck, and figured I might as well put an electric brake controller on it at the same time.

Are there any plug and play options? The last time I hooked up a brake controller it was almost twenty years ago on my 77 F250, and there was a bit of cut and splice involved, along with running new wires to the rear of the truck.

I am wondering if there are any easier options now.

Thanks for the advice,

Robert

Looks like they have a couple of packages with a Tekonsha Prodigy and the under dash pigtail you need...
