According to the installation instructions for the T-One Wiring Harness, # 118540, the tow-plug for the 2016 Ford Explorer is located at the rear passenger's side. Refer to the attached photo.
The trailer wiring harness will connect to this OEM plug at your Explorer.
I have also linked an installation video of the Tekonsha Wiring Harness being installed on a 2016 Ford Explorer for you to review.
