Can ETBC7 Kit Be Used for Just Trailer Light Functions Before Wiring to Brake Controller

Question:

I eventually want to put a break controller on my 2016 Toyota Highlander XLE V6 AWD. I need the 7 way for a trailer I want to pull. Can I use the 7 way/4flat for lights until I have time to install a brake controller? What break controller do you recommend for my Highlander?

The # ETBC7 would be perfect for you as it will give you the ability to just use the 7-way for trailer light functions and then when you are ready to install the brake controller you would have the parts needed for that on your 2016 Toyota Highlander with a 4-way.

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.
