Yes, Sonny. The Curt Spectrum Brake Controller # C58YV you found will plug and play into your 2016 Ford F-150. This controller comes with the correct harness to plug into your factory brake controller plug in. Then you will be able to mount the main box under you dash and stick the control knob where it is most convenient for you to reach on the dash.
