If your F250 is not a 2005 or 2006 but has the tow package then it probably has a plug under the dash (somewhere near the center is where mine were) for the brake controller. There also should have been a connector for that plug laying under a seat or in the glove box. Look under the rear seat if a supercab or crewcab or behind the front seat if a standard cab. All you have to do is mount the controller, splice in the controller wires to that connector and plug it in. If you don't have the connector for the plug, you can probably get one from the controller mfr, the Ford dealer, or possibly some RV dealers. Those connectors came with my 1992, 1995, 1999, and 2003 Fords.

You didn't say what kind of hitch and controller but that price seems rather high to me but it's been awhile since we bought a new hitch. You can buy a Prodigy controller (the one I'd very highly recommend) for $110-150 depending on where you buy (look online for the best price).

Good luck and congrats on the new Montana.
