Default Brake controller, which one?

2020 XLT F150 - I’ve already installed a cheap aftermarket controller and it’s never worked correctly, won’t stay connected. Now I’m getting fault warnings for it. So I’ve been looking for a ford unit and I have two models showing as being correct; HC3Z 19H332-AA and JL3Z 19H332-AA. The latter unit is about $50 more than the other. What’s the difference between the two?

thanks, Clint

JL3 is the correct part for your truck.
J = 2018 (compatible with 2018-2020 model years)
L3 = F150

HC3Z is for the Super Duty.

JL3Z is for the F150.

While you are right, J isn’t just 2018-2020. It’s compatible with 2015-2020.
