2008 F150 brake controller

I have a 08 Lariat with tow package. I need to add a brake controller to tow daughters 28' travel trailer. Local trailer guy wants $150.00.

My question which is best controller or are they basically the same. And how hard is it to hook up.
Is this a fair price or to much?

Thanks, great site

From: Long Beach, Ms.
Tekonsha Prodigy P3, IMO, there is none better. Tekonsha P-3 Trailer Brake Controller - Proportional 90195 : Trailer hitch bike rack and trailer hitches - etrailer.com
Ad the plug in harness; Tekonsha Wire Replacement for Ford Vehicles 3035-P : Trailer hitch bike rack and trailer hitches - etrailer.com
Very simple hook up. Plug and play. Will work with electric or electric over hydraulic brakes.

Do a search for best price. Don't forget shipping cost.
BTW; what controller is your local dealer offering for $150?
