We have just what you need. The Hopkins 5th Wheel 7-Way part # 41157 is a confirmed fit for your 2018 Ford F-150 and will give you a 7-way you can install in the bed of your truck. It will install inline with the 7-way you have at the rear of the truck and give you the second 7-way you can install in the bed of the truck. I attached an install video for this kit on a similar 2017 Ford F-150 for you to check out as well.

Yes the Curt hitch part #C12130 is a confirmed fit for your 2008 Mercury Marquis. Then for trailer wiring the Curt harness part #C59236 would be a great option. It's a universal style harness that will require hardwiring to the taillight wiring.
