We can pretty easily help you install a 7-way on your 2012 Toyota Sienna. First you'll need a 4-way installed. For that I'd recommend the part # 118498 which is very easy to install and comes with a very reliable converter box.
Now if your trailer does not have brakes all you would need is the part # 37185 as an adapter to convert the 4-way to a 7-way.
If you do have trailer brakes you would need the # ETBC7 instead of the # 37185 and a brake controller. This kit comes with everything needed to wire up the 7-way and install a brake controller.
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.
