Hey Andy! You will need the smart diode kit for your F-150. The correct kit depends on whether you have incandescent or LED tail lights. You can choose from the following:

-Roadmaster Smart Diode Kit for Variable Voltage Incandescent Tail Lights # RM26FR

-Roadmaster Smart Diode Kit for Variable Voltage LED Tail Lights # RM38FR

You will also need the Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-156-25 to complete your wiring.

Do you have your tow bar, base plate, and brake system picked out already?
