The location that you would connect an adapter like part # 22292 to your 2018 Ford F-150 for installing a brake controller like the Prodigy P3 # 90195 is behind and to the left of the center console area. If you remove the front panel that is directly under your steering wheel you can access the plug this way (see attached photo).

Some models of the 2018 F-150 don't have power running to this brake controller port. If this is the case for you then you would need the wiring kit # BRK-ELECKIT to complete your installation.

I have attached a video of the Prodigy P3 # 90195 and this wiring kit being installed on a 2018 Ford F-150 that you can use as a reference.
