I have recommendations for you but unfortunately, you will not have a factory plug in under your dash nor will you have a factory 7 way or 4 way at the back of your 2006 Chrysler Pacifica. This is because a factory tow package is not available for your vehicle.

However, if you are looking for the proper wiring and brake controller to tow a trailer with brakes, I have the wiring you will need to do so.

First, for a brake controller I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Brake Controller # 90195. I recommend this brake controller as it has a customizable LCD screen and 5 storable settings that let you customize the controller for multiple trailers, varying loads or different drivers. It also writes out problems on the LCD screen rather than reading a problem code.

To wire your brake controller and to add a 7-way pole connector at the back of your vehicle, you will need the etrailer.com Universal Installation Kit for Brake Controllers # ETBC7. This gives you everything to need to wire your brake controller into your vehicle, and has a 7-way to install in the back of your Pacifica to plug your trailer 7-way into.

You will also need a 4-way trailer connector to connect your vehicle lights to your trailer lights. I recommend the Curt # C55530. I recommend this harness as it plugs directly into existing wiring and right into your vehicle lights. I attached an installation video of this wiring harness being installed on your vehicle which you may find helpful.

I attached a review video for the Prodigy P3 Brake Controller which you may want to check out. I also attached an installation video for the ETBC7 on a 2009 Chrysler Aspen which will not be the same exact installation for your vehicle, but it is very similar and will give you a good idea of how to install the ETBC7 on your 2006 Chrysler Pacifica.
