I spoke with my contact at Tekonsha and he informed that you are looking for a brown 6 pin connector behind the hood release, up near the firewall to plug in the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter # 3035-P. He said there is also a gray connector that is very similar to the brown connector that the # 3035-P will actually plug into but it is not the correct one to use.

The Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Proportional Brake Controller # 90885 and the # 3035-P Ford Super Duty Adapter is what you need.
