Hey John! So long as your 2010 F-150 came with either a 4-way connector or 7-way connector from the factory you can use the Curt Custom Wiring Adapter item # C51436 to install the Curt TriFlex NEXT Trailer Brake Controller item # C24VV. The plug in port only come installed on your model year truck if it has a factory connector.
The plug's location will be located under the dash, above the brake pedal and taped to another harness. I have attached a picture below that will help you find it.
Did your F-150 come from the factory with a 4-way connector or 7-way connector?

Hey John, did you find out whether your F-150 has the factory 4-way or 7-way connector for the Curt brake controller setup? Once you confirm that, it’ll be easier to know if the adapter and controller worked as expected. Your update could make it easier for others with the same truck.
