Draw Tite Trailer That Fits 2017 Mercedes Benz Sprinter 2500 with 39.5 inch Frame

Question

Question:

Thank you very much. Would you be able to recommend the part numbers I will need to add a 7 way plug including brake controller to a 2017 Mercedes sprinter 2500 passenger van that has no factory trailer wiring in place. Links to any relevant install videos would also be helpful but I'm sure I can find them if needed.

You will need to start with a 4-way. For that you would want the # 118649. 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 the Brake EVN # TK63VR is a really great choice that's priced well and proportional so it senses how hard you apply the vehicle brakes and applies trailer brakes proportionally.
