Helpful Expert Reply:

The brake controller that I recommend for your 2007 Toyota Tundra, due to its easy mounting and use is the Curt TriFlex NEXT Trailer Brake Controller # C24VV.

Since you have the factory 7-way the only other thing you'll need is the Curt Custom Wiring Adapter for Trailer Brake Controllers - Dual Plug In # C51362.

Hey Donald, the best Blue Ox weight distribution would be the pat #BXW0550 as it has a perfect tongue weight range for your 450 lb tongue weight trailer.
