To install a brake controller in your 2014 Dodge Ram 1500 only requires you to use the correct install harness like the part # 3023-P which is a confirmed fit for your truck.
For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P3 Brake Controller part # 90195. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. This is a proportional brake controller that senses the amount of braking the tow vehicle is applying and applies a proportionate amount to the trailer brakes. This will be the last brake controller you buy. It can easily be transferred to future vehicles as well.
I attached an install video for this setup on a very similar 2013 Dodge Ram as yours.
