Does 7-Way for 2014 Honda Pilot # 118265 Activate Trailer Brakes

Question:

Hello - I am purchasing this for my 2014 Honda Pilot. We are towing a small RV that has trailer brakes. Will this harness power the trailer brakes? If it does, do I need the brake controller as well? T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package - 7-Way Trailer Connector Item # 118265

The 7-way kit that fits your 2014 Honda Pilot part # 118265 does not have the ability to operate the brakes of your trailer but you can easily add a brake controller like with the Curt Echo # C51180 which plugs right into this and once synced to your smart phone is ready to tow with and activates your brakes with the same intensity as your vehicle brakes due to it's inertia sensor.
