7-Way Recommendation for a 2016 Ford F-150 XL with 4-Way
Question:
Hey guys, do you think this will work for my application? I have a 2016 F150 XL, and it has a 4 pin connector installed from the factory, but i need a 7 pin. Will this just plug in and work as if it were factory? Thanks!

For your 2016 Ford F-150 if your trailer does not have brakes all you would need is the part # 37185 as an adapter to convert the 4-way to a 7-way.
If you do have trailer brakes you would need the # 37185 and the install harness part # 22292. If you check out the install video I attached you will see how the connections would be made.
For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup.
I can't recommend the # C56307 as a fit as it would not wire up properly to your vehicle.
