There is no specific harness for you 2012 F53 that works with the Brake Buddy Stealth Supplemental Braking System - Proportional Item # HM39530 however, the 2012 F53 does have a brake controller plug under the dash somewhere around the steering column.
Since the stealth brake controller has open wires on the end you can use the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers - Ford, Lincoln, Mercury Item # 3035-P. You would just cut the connector off that would typically connect to the brake controller and splice the matching color wires together. I recommend using Deka Heat Shrink Butt Connector - 12-10 Gauge - Nylon Insulation - Yellow - Qty 5 Item # DW05745-5 to connect your wires.
