Brake Controller, Install Harness, and Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2007 Lexus GX 470
Question:
Question 1. I own a 2007 Lexus GX470 with factory Hitch and wiring option. Do you make a plug and play brake controller that I only have to mount on the dash, and I am not required to splice into existing wiring? Question 2. this same vehicle has a roof rack with cross bars. What do I have to purchase to install the Thule Hullavator onto the existing rack? Thanks,

Expert Reply:
For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. This is a proportional brake controller that senses the amount of braking the tow vehicle is applying and applies a proportionate amount to the trailer brakes.
For a quick install harness that would allow you to install the brake controller without having to splice into any existing wiring you would want the harness part # 3040-P. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.
The Thule Hullavator (now discontinued), requires an aftermarket roof rack for attachment. For your vehicle that has crossbars already you would want the # TH7502-TH7502 as this has been confirmed to fit your vehicle and will allow the Hullavator to install.
