Factory Brake Controller or Something else?

Gonna order an F150 soon. Just wondering if the factory brake controllers are as good or better then a P3 or equivelant. The factory BC adds $300 so the cost isn't the issue. Just want the best brake control.

Thanks in advance for your opinions.

Hands down GET the Ford built in IBC, bar none it will be MUCH better than ANY "inertial" type controller!

Our 2006 F250, IBC was an option, we decided to skip the IBC and put a Jordan Ultima 2020 in (Jordan uses a stainless steel cable from the controller to the brake pedal for a very smooth operation).

Bought a 2013 F250 which IBC is a standard item and not optional, so far the IBC works perfectly smooth just like the Jordan.

Ford HAS ironed out the issues they had when they first introduced the IBC and as far as I can tell pretty much a non issue with the majority of folks using one.

I will say though, for the IBC to work correctly, your trailer brake wiring MUST be in good shape. The IBCs are a bit touchy when it comes to bad connections, most trailer manufacturers use non weather resistance splices. The moisture attacks those connections over time and the result is corroded connections. Rewiring and upgrading the wire size can and will make a huge difference in your trailer brakes..
