  • 7 Pole Wiring Harness For A 2016 Ford F-150 Without Factory 4 Flat

  • TorkLift 36 Inch Hitch Extender for Ford Factory 3 Inch Receiver Hitch
  • I am a bit confused, because I was under the impression that Ford didn't begin offering the 3 inch hitch until the 2017 model year. As long as the hitch on your 2016 Ford truck is the 3 inch factory receiver, the Torklift # TLE1636 will be compatible. if you need an extension for the 7-way trailer connector, use part # TLW6036.
