According to the owners manual for your 2016 Ford Transit Connect Titanium LWB you have a maximum towing capacity of 2,000lbs with or without trailer brakes. You will also need to ensure the added tongue weight does not cause your Transit to exceed either the rear axle weight capacity or GVWR.
I recommend using the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e77AR as the 2" receiver allows for a wider selection of ball mounts and hitch mounted accessories. This receiver has a matte black finish... view full answer...
LED type trailer lights use very little power, about one-tenth the amount required by standard incandescent light bulbs.

You will need to run the additional wiring which comes with the Universal Installation Kit # ETBC7. The wire included for powering the charge line also runs with the wiring you will need for the output on the brake controller. The power wire on the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118613 is also not large enough to safely carry the power needed for both the converter and the charge line.
For a brake controller I recommend the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller # RED52VR. This brake... view full answer...
After doing some research, the only 8 sided fastener I could find is called a Double-Square, which you can see in the diagram I provided. We don't carry those bits, but you can find them online very easily. view full answer...
