Parts Needed to Install 7-Way and Brake Controller on 2021 Toyota Venza
Question:
I will be purchasing a mini tear trailer for this hitch. It will have braking. Is there a wiring harness that includes braking controls in addition to the lights?

We can easily help with trailer wiring that fits your 2021 Toyota Venza to control the trailer lighting and brakes but you have to install a 4-way first like with the custom fit # C57ER, convert it to a 7-way with an adapter so that you can then wire in a brake controller.
For a brake controller I really like the Curt Echo Mobile part # C51180 which once plugged into an active 7-way and synced to a smart phone is ready to tow with. So then for a 7-way adapter you'd just need the # ETBC7L and you'd be set.
