I bought this truck a few months ago. It has the trailer hitch 7 pin connector and on the dash, a screen for towing info. But it has no brake controller with some kind of gain control. I'm shopping for a travel trailer. What do I need?

I recommend the Ford integrated brake controller.
You'll find this forum advise seems to limit a F150 to 6000lbs the F150 forum folks are comfortable up to 8000lbs.

Really? I never owned a ford in my life, but i dont think a break controller will up the tow limits on the trailor 2000 lbs. That just dosen't seem right. Now if the ford allready has it, it could mean that the TV has other upgrades, like better cooling, transmistion, gearing. But to say the controller can give you more power can not be right.

Sorry you misunderstood me.

The "weight police" on this forum seem to think the practical limit of a 1/2 ton towing weight is 6000lbs. The "weight police" on the ford forum have it at a more reasonable limit of 8000lbs when looking for advise on trailers
