Parts Needed to Add a 7-Way Trailer Connector to a 2016 Ford F-150 with a Factory 4-Way Connector
Question:
Good afternoon. I am looking to replace my 4pin harness with a 7pin. I have a 2016 F150. Do you offer a plug and play kit for my truck? If not what suggestions do you have? Thank you for your time

I can help you find the parts you need to add a 7-way trailer connector on your 2016 Ford F-150 however there isn't a plug and play option. You need to convert the factory 4-way.
The easiest way to do this is with our # ETBC7 kit. It uses your 4-way to provide both a 4-way and a 7-way. Included with the kit is all the wiring and parts you need for the 7-way to be fully functioning, including all the wiring to install an electric brake controller. If you're also going to be adding a brake controller I recommend the Prodigy P3, part # 90195, because of how easy and reliable it is. To connect the P3 in your truck use adapter # 22292. I've linked some videos of the # ETBC7 kit, as well as the P3, being installed for you.
If you don't need the 7-way to have any functions other than stop, turn, and tail lights then you can just use an adapter like part # 37185. This gives you the 7-way and without all of the extra wiring included with the # ETBC7 kit.
