Can a Trailer Brake Controller be Installed on a 2019 Toyota Highlander
Question:
Just bought a 2019 Toyota Highlander and I already have the hitch but I need a brake controller. Do you have one that can be installed on my vehicle? I want something fairly easy to install.

Yes, I have the perfect solution for your 2019 Toyota Highlander with the Curt Echo Mobile Trailer Brake Controller # C51180. This plugs into a 7-Way that has the trailer light and 12V functions active and it is adjusted with your Apple or Android smart device via the Bluetooth app. You literally just plug it in and pair it up then you're ready to adjust the settings as needed. I have attached an installation video of this on a '19 Highlander for you to check out.
If you don't already have the wiring for the Echo to work then you need a 4-Way connector, part # 56042 if you have the tow package or part # C56217 if you don't have the tow package, as well as the 7-Way RV Upgrade Kit # ETBC7L. I also recommend using the mounting bracket # C57202 to mount the trailer connector to your trailer hitch.
Attached are some other install videos you can reference as well as a photo showing what the Echo looks like installed on a '19 Highlander.
