Helpful Expert Reply:
I checked with Roadmaster and the part # 495-1A that you referenced has been confirmed to fit your 2014 Ford F-150 STX so it would work well for you.
The InvisiBrake part # RM-8700 that you referenced has also been confirmed to fit your vehicle.
There is a Hopkins wiring harness that will fit your vehicle, but the # HM56005 that you referenced would not fit your truck. Instead you would want the # HM56000.
The Falcon Tow Bar part # RM-522 that you already have would work great as well.
For safety cables you can use # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground.
