Expert Reply:
The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76136 is a perfect fit for your 2016 Ford F-150 Crew Cab. The hitch will work well with an Equal-i-zer weight distribution system with integrated sway control. This combination will work great with a travel trailer you just need to be under the 1000 lb max tongue weight capacity when using your Equal-i-zer system as the tongue weight on that hitch is different when using weight distribution.
You could also look at the etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver # E98871 which is rated for 1,000 lbs when using weight distribution and it is made in the USA.
Then for your trailer wiring I recommend the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 7-Way Trailer Connector # 118283 along with No Drill Mount # C57202 and # PK12711U.
