Since your vehicle does not have any existing wiring, you will need two wiring kits to wire your vehicle up for a brake controller. You will need a 4-Pole Trailer Connector and Installation Kit # C59496, to wire a 4-way connector on your vehicle and then you will need the Brake Controller 7 & 4 Way Installation Kit - 10 Gauge, item # ETBC7 to complete the wiring of the brake controller and accessory wiring you will need.
