Your truck already has the connection port under the dash for a brake controller, and the output wire for the brake voltage will be run to the rear of the truck along the drivers side frame rail. Its a blue wire, and usually terminates near the back wheel.

- The Stromberg Carlson Electric Trailer Jack # JET-5000 that you referenced does come ready to easily be wired to your trailer's wiring, but it does not have a 7-way.

view full answer... - Comparing Trailer Horse Pad Screws and Self-Taping Screws for Horse Trailer Side Pads
- The Trailer Horse Pad Screw part # PS-8 will work great for attaching Horse Trailer Side Pads like part # HTP60BK. That said, you may need to drill a small pilot hole into the backing first depending on the material. I suppose you could use a standard self-tapping screw like part # 1131832 as well but there is no built-in washer on these and you risk stripping the hole much easier this way as well.
