Hey Rick! The Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller will fit your 2016 Escalade. If you have the factory tow package you need the # RED26CR which comes with a custom wiring harness. If you added an aftermarket 7-way you will need the # RED52VR which splices in for installation.
You can add the # 331-TPSI-001 if you want but I really don't think it is necessary. Take a look at the photo below and you will see where we installed it on a 2017 Escalade without the mounting plate. If you add the mounting plate you will have to cut a larger hole for installation and I don't think it looks any better or worse with/without it. If you think it will look better for your particular setup then by all means, go for it. If you need anything else don't hesitate to reach out in the comments below.
