Thank you all for the quick replies. I feel even better than before now. We definitely plan on getting a good WD hitch and sway control. I still have to research the brake controllers more.
Definitely don't consider anything other than a true accelerometer-based proportional controller.
My go-to is the Tekonsha Prodigy P3, however the Explorer (we have a 2016 Sport) doesn't seem to have a good spot to mount one. It *might* fit in the cubby below the HVAC, with some mods, but that doesn't seem like the best spot to reach for the over-ride in an emergency.
I just saw this, and it looks like the cleanest install possible:

Hopkins I-sight is another remote-module interface, but it's chunkier and the LCD display would be more appropriate 20 years ago.
