Hey Richard! Yes, the etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit # e98958 will fit your 2016 Sierra 1500. The same is true for the Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit # RM-15267 and Roadmaster Battery Disconnect # RM93MR you ordered.
Did you want a brake controller for your truck for trailer towing? The Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty # RED26CR is designed to activate trailer brakes but will not work for flat towing. If you need a brake system I recommend the Demco Stay-IN-Play Duo # DM86VR.
