Trailer Hitch, Wiring and Brake Controller Recommendation for a 2005 Toyota Sienna

Question:

I just purchased a 2007 Starcraft 2106 pop up with a GVW of 2,050 lbs. I will be towing it with a 2005 Toyota Sienna. What do you recommend for a hitch, wiring and other needed accessories. The trailer does have an electric brake on it and a 7 pin connector. The Sienna came with the tow prep package but no hitch or wiring.

We have just what you would need to tow your 2007 StarCraft with your 2005 Toyota Sienna. For a trailer hitch you would need to start with the Draw Tite hitch part # 75237 which is a confirmed fit and has a 2 inch opening. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.

You will need to start with a 4-way for the wiring portion of everything. For that you would want the # 118304.

From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7. I attached installation instructions and an install video for this product as well.

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.

Since 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.
