Any Ford Techs Here?

I'm looking for the correct part number for a 2018 F150 trailer brake controller. I've called 3 different dealers, and each gave me a different part number.
Here is what I was given, JL3Z-2C006-AA, JL3Z-19H332-AA, and FL3Z-2C006-AB.
Some dealers say the part is year specific, others say it fits 2017-2018.

Sooo many trailer tow package trucks on dealers lots without the TBC. FRUSTRATING!!!

Do you have a VIN? Many parts listings are VIN specific. If you attempt to look up a specific part through the Ford parts online catalogue by entering the vehicle and model year information, it will list multiple part numbers to suit different applications. If you enter the VIN however, it filters out the other choices listing only the part number specific to the VIN entered.

According to HvBom with the VIN provided, your white truck is equipped with the trailer tow package if I understood correctly. I'm not a parts counter person, but I will say that the first two part numbers with the prefixes 'JL3Z' correspond to a 2018 model year F-150. 'FL3Z' corresponds to a 2015 model year F-150. I've tried entering the base part number and nothing comes up. What are you after? The slider control below the 4x4 selector ****? Is yours not present?

I would suggest that you give the parts department the VIN of your truck. That can sometimes clear up any confusion on which is the correct part.

Currently there is not one available for the 2018 F-150. Scheduled to be released 1Q 2018.

Those dealers should have been able to pull up the following information:

Go to the FairWay Ford store on eBay.

They have the OEM TBC there for $94.79

You might be able to find it for less from other sources but I thought i`d just pass this info on to you.

Hope this helps.

Yes, I did read that hence the reason I mentioned the the one on eBay which via a phone call to Fairway Ford`s parts department, I was told that it will work for the 2018`s.

I apologize for trying to be of help.

Have a great day.

Fairway Ford is incorrect. They are not reading the statement from FoMoCo, only going by the accessory catalog which currently is misprinted. Ford released the statement after they realized the misprint.

Just so you're aware. And also your help is always appreciated.

So forgive my ignorance, but why can't Ford provide a part number for this? The part is already installed on some of the trucks I looked at. (All 2018 F150's)

Currently the correct part is available through production only, and not available as a kit for dealers or anyone else to install yet.

My guess as to why is there might be a very limited supply from the vendor that manufactures them and Ford will absolutely try to avoid running into production delays over something like this.

This is not unusual either, just FYI. Limited production supplies affect dealer's ability to get parts all the time.
