What Is Needed To Pull A Trailer With Electric Brakes Using A 2016 Mercedes-Benz Metris?
In order to tow a 4000lb trailer with your 2016 Mercedes-Benz Metris, you first need a hitch. I would go with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Class III - 2" # C13276.

2019 Mercedes-Benz Metris Yakima LockNLoad Platform Rack Installation Parts
To mount a Yakima LockNLoad Platform Rack on your 2019 Mercedes-Benz Metris with a naked roof we first need a roof rack system with crossbars as Yakima doesn't have a direct fit for the LockNLoad as of right now (February 2022).

You are correct, the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller - 1 to 4 Axles - Proportional Item # 90195 does go to sleep after 15 minutes once the vehicle is shut off.

The trailer brake controller plug on a 2020 Mercedes-Benz Metris is located on the driver side behind the center console, under the sound deadening mat in the top left of the passenger footwell.

Recommended Brake Controller for 2020 Mercedes-Benz Metris
I have a solution for you to hard-wire in your Tekonsha P3 # 90195 to your 2020 Mercedes-Benz Metris, but there is not a plug and play adapter that can be used.

Can I Use an Adapter w/ the Kuat Pivot Swing Away?
The swing away adapters like the Kuat Pivot 2 Swing Away Hitch Extender item # PVD20B can not be used with other adapters like a 2" or greater rise. The farthest edge of the carrier when folded is 14-1/8" so you will just need to be mindful of that when going up or down a steep grade. I have linked a review video below.

We don't offer a plug and play wiring harness for your 2020 Metris, but we do offer a circuit-protected trailer wiring harness to provide a 4-pole trailer connector that would be pretty easy to install that wouldn't require any cutting or splicing.

From the center of the lowest mounting hole(see image) to the lowest point on the receiver is 8-7/8".

Function of Curt Echo Trailer Brake Controller If There Are Bluetooth Connectivity Issues
For your 2016 Mercedes-Benz Metris Passenger Van, the Curt Echo Mobile Trailer Brake Controller # C51180 should work well.
