Trailer Brake Controller Install for 2015

I have the "towing" option (but not Max tow) on my 2015 XLT 3.5 N/A Scab. I was able to installed the TBC. I can adjust it by selecting the "towing" display on my console. I could see the towing display screen on my console before I installed the TBC. Can you see the towing display screen on your console? If not, I would think it would be difficult to use the Ford TBC. If you have the towing display screen and also have the wiring harness under the dash. I would think you would have no issue using the TBC. This is JMO of course, but logic says, if you have those two components, then after installing and enabling the TBC, you should be good to go. Along those same lines, there should also be another wiring connector in the harness in the rear of the truck to plug in the 7 pin pigtail.
Hope this helps!
Hope this helps!
The only option i have that i can access is trailer sway. I can only tick it on/off. Perhaps someone can confirm they where able to access the trailer brake options while the module was not install/turned on.

The PN I received was GL3Z-2C006-C, $82 shipped, installed and activated with Forscan. THANKS LIVNITU!

Livnitup - can you explain this FORScan process so I can do it myself? I haven't found that yet in my menus.
Thanks!

The FORScan Guy
1. Go into the programming screen for IPC Module configuration (AS BUILT format)
2. Make the following changes: (Ignore whatever you have where the x's are and just put the "E" and "4" in the approriate line and position and click the "write all" buttton. Ignore the warning message FORScan will give about incorrect checksum and continue with the write; it'll write the correct checksum automatically anyways)

720-04-01 xx4x xxxx xxxx Trailer Brake Controller Gain Setting enabled

I bought a trailer brake control module before I read this thread. I paid for GL3Z2C006CA from a dealer in FL for less than TASCA's price. The dealer then refunded my money back to Paypal with a message that it was the wrong part # for my VIN.
My truck is a 2015 F-150 XLT, 5.0, with trailer tow pkg.. I then called TASCA and they said that the reason both the part #'s mentioned in this thread come up on their web page is because the more expensive version is a kit while the part number I state here is OK for my truck as I don't need the kit, just the module. I called two other dealers and was told that only the FL3Z-19H332-AB is correct for my truck.
Would someone confirm that the cheaper part does in fact do the job?
It took me reading 24 of this threads 25 pages to get to the mention of the cheaper part number! Whew...
Thanks!

So I have a 2017 XLT SCrew. I did not purchase any additional tow package. However, I do have a Class IV hitch and the combo 4/7 harness. Will I have all the wiring necessary to just plug in the TBC? I realize it would still need to be programmed. Thanks

It should, see if the connector is attached to the backside of the pocket where the brake controller goes.
