Trailer Hitch and 7-Way Wiring Recommendation for a 2007 Toyota 4Runner
Question:
I have a 2007 toyota 4 runner limited. I want to buy a hidden hitch code 70779. I also want to buy a 7 way connector thay attaches to the hidden hitch attachment already in the hitch please let me know which one attaches to this hitch? Wiring question I went underneath the back of my toyota i don t see any where pre wiring. So i am assuming is not pre wired. What other wiring do i need to hook up the 7 way connector

We have exactly what you will need. The Draw-Tite, part # 75155, has been confirmed as a fit for your 2007 Toyota 4Runner so it would be the hitch I recommend.
You will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # 119178KIT.
Now if your trailer does not have brakes all you would need is the part # 37185 as an adapter to convert the 4-way to a 7-way.
If you do have trailer brakes you would need the # ETBC7 instead of the # 37185 and a brake controller. This kit comes with everything needed to wire up the 7-way and install a brake controller.
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.
If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
