Brake Controller & Slider Hitch Installation Price

I am about to purchase my Montana 3500 and have been told that I will need a brake controller installed on my 2006 Dodge 3500 5.9L diesel with a tow package installed. I will also need a slider hitch installed as I have a short bed. Can anyone tell me what a reasonable price range should be for either of these installations? I realize that there are probably many options to choose from but I just want a reasonable price range so that I don't end up paying way too much. Thanks for advice.

I paid $175 to have my hitch installed (non slider). It was a very difficult installation...I could not even see where some of the bolts went in, much less get a wrench on them. As for the brake controller, that one is easy, you could do it yourself...they come with all the parts, great directions and, if needed, the 800# to the manufacturer.

Cmcree: If you are buying from a dealer make that part of the deal. Reese slider hitch and prodigy brake controller installed should run about 700 to 800 elsewhere, as I remember prices. However, when I got my first 5er the hitch and install was all part of the deal...

By the way, welcome to the forum and many happy campouts in your new rig when you get it.
