7-Way and Brake Controller Recommendation for a 2016 Toyota Highlander
Question:
Just purchased a 2016 Toyota highlander that has a dealer installed tow hitch with a four pin adapter. I need to know what I need to mount a 7-pin adapter in order to pull a motorcycle trailer that has a brake to help stopping the vehicle.

Since you already have a 4 way you would need to convert it 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.
