Parts Needed to Install 7-Way and Brake Controller in 2019 GMC Acadia w/o Tow Package
Question:
I have a 2019 GMC acadia without factory towing. We just installed a hitch rated for 4000lbs. Next is to wire it up for 7-blad round connection. Im getting confused as to what we need to buy for wiring. Can you assist? I am also wanting a brake controller, the draw-tite #5535. If you can tell me what i need, i will buy and install as long as the instructions are complete. Thank you.

Expert Reply:
Since your 2019 GMC Acadia does not have the factory tow package you will need to first install a 4-way on your vehicle with the # C56325 and then convert it to a 7-way with the part # ETBC7 which comes with everything needed to also wire up a brake controller like the Brake EVN # TK63VR.
I attached install videos for both wiring kits for you to check out as well that will walk you through the entire process.
