Looking to add a hidden hitch, Redarc brake controller and applicable wiring to my 2018 Sienna. I entered my vehicle info to the website but am not sure what is required for the compatible brake controller wiring and harness made for my vehicle.

Ok, we can absolutely get your 2018 Toyota Sienna set up with a trailer hitch that has a hidden crosstube, as well as the wiring needed to add the Redarc brake controller. There are three parts you will need for sure, which are the hitch, brake controller, and 7-way installation kit:
- Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13343
- Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller # RED44FR
- Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7
You will need these three parts no matter what, and the # ETBC7 will give you the 7-way and rest of the hardware required to install the controller. The only other thing you may need is a 4-way if your 2018 Toyota Sienna does not already have one, either from the factory or aftermarket. If it does not, the correct 4-way will depend on your Sienna's model.
- 2018 Toyota Sienna All Models Except SE: T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118648
- 2018 Toyota Sienna SE: T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118498
That will be everything required to install the Redarc controller, with the only difference potentially being the 4-way your 2018 Sienna needs. I've added links below to some video reviews for you to check out as well if you'd like.
