Helpful Expert Reply:

For your 2016 Ford Transit Connect Wagon XLT with long wheel base, I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 75852. This is a confirmed fit for your model as well as other Connect models. It has a stylish round-tube design and has an integrated mounting bracket for your trailer wiring. It has a black power coat finish over an e-coat base for excellent rust protection.

For your wiring, I recommend the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118613. This harness installs to your factory wiring using quick connect plugs behind your driver's and passenger side tail lights. You will have to remove the access panel doors to access this harness.

For a ball mount, I recommend the B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount - 2" Hitch - 5" Drop, 5-1/2" Rise - 10K - Black # BWTS10037B. This gives you the ability to tow level, have two ball sizes, and stow it away. I've attached a video to help. You may also want to use a lock like # e98882 to secure your investment.
