If you order online from Fairway Ford in Ohio, they will tell you if its the correct part, and give you a great price. Then you will need somebody with ForsScan to enable it in the module. Dealers can enable it for a fee, or you can enable it yourself by installing the ForScan program and connecting your laptop to the vehicle with a special OBD port cable.
There are quite a few threads on this topic, and a sticky.

No need to wait for a response. Just start the order process and you will be guided to the correct part!

I did it on my Raptor. You have to damn near disassemble the dash to get to the little cubbyhole, but it’s a simple plug and play when you get there.
Like the others said, get ForScan to make the changes. On the F150, there are 2 pieces of code that need to be modified. I’m not sure if it’s the same for the Super Duty.

Its really not that difficult. I was able to remove and replace the parts by giving the air vent portion a good yank. At first I was afraid the plastic was going to snap as I was not being nice to it, and I had not removed any other dash or console parts, but I was able to pull on it just enough to remove the tray and insert the TBC without breaking anything. Was a 5 min job.

Well, on second thought maybe I loosened the screen panel at the top to allow the vent panel to pop loose, but I certainly didn't remove any panel entirely. And I do have the sport model with center console. All those dash parts seem to tuck in behind the console and I wasn't about to take the entire dash and console apart to get this job done if I absolutely didn't have to. So I pretty much just pulled and twisted until there was just enough room to squeeze the TBC in and get my fingers in there to make the connection. One minute later I popped the panels back in place and then popped open a beer!
Those plastic panels are much tougher than I thought they would be. And they weren't real warm when I did it either. I initially thought the plastic might crack because it was only about 50 degrees out there, but nope, no damage at all. I would imagine that if the interior temp of the truck was 80 or better, the panels would bend even more easily.
