There is no specific harness for you 2012 F53 that works with the Brake Buddy Stealth Supplemental Braking System - Proportional Item # HM39530 however, the 2012 F53 does have a brake controller plug under the dash somewhere around the steering column.

Since the stealth brake controller has open wires on the end you can use the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers - Ford, Lincoln, Mercury Item # 3035-P. You would just cut the connector off that would typically connect to the brake controller and splice the matching color wires together. I recommend using Deka Heat Shrink Butt Connector - 12-10 Gauge - Nylon Insulation - Yellow - Qty 5 Item # DW05745-5 to connect your wires.

The Brake Buddy Stealth part #HM39530 can only work with the included brake controller. You'd have to install the controller that comes with this to use it with the Stealth and then use your current controller when towing a trailer.
