To install the Curt TriFlex NEXT Trailer Brake Controller # C24VV to your 2018 Ford F-150 I recommend also picking up the Custom Wiring Adapter # C51436 so the installation is a plug and play setup. You'll be able to find the OEM connector on your Ford behind the center console controls (see attached instructions).

If your F-150 came from the factory with a 7-Way connector at the back then you're good to go, otherwise if it came with the 4-Way then you also need the Universal Installation Kit # ETBC7 to complete your wiring.
