Hi Rob!
As long as you have a working 7-way on your 2020 Ford Transit 350, which should be the case with the factory hitch and wiring, you can indeed use the Curt Echo Wireless Brake Controller - 7-Way Plug-in w/ Bluetooth App - Up to 2 Axles - Proportional # C51180.
If you weren't already looking at it, I also recommend grabbing the Manual Override Button for Curt Echo Brake Controller # C83HR. This will let you engage the manual override without having to use your phone, which I prefer. Call me old school, but I like to use my phone as a phone. You will still need to use the OneControl app to set everything up and all that though.
What are you going to be towing with your Transit?
