Recommendations For Adding A Brake Controller To A 2020 Hyundai Palisade
Question:
Hello, I own a 2020 Hyundai Palisade and planned on installing a trailer hitch along with all wiring needed to convert to a 7 pin capable of electric braking. To do this I created a cart with the following parts: Curt Trailer Hitch- C13427 Curt T-Con Wire Harness- CU94FR Brake Controller- C51170 4to7 Connector Adapter-C57672 No-Drill Bracket- C57202 Does this look sufficient to complete the setup?

Expert Reply:
I will start by saying the Curt # C13427 hitch and the Curt # CU94FR wiring harness are definitely fits for your vehicle, so they are definitely a good place to start. However, getting the Curt Spectrum Trailer Brake Controller # C51170 up and running properly will require more than just 7 Way plug. The Curt 7 Way # C57672 will just piggyback off the 4 Flat and will not have any other function until more wire and circuit breakers are run.
With that said, I recommend changing the Curt # C57672 to our Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7. This includes a similar 7 Way plug, but will also include all the wiring, circuit breakers, zip ties, and connectors needed to accomplish this task. The Curt No-Drill Bracket # C57202 will still be used with the 7 Way bracket that is also included with this kit. The Universal Wiring Adapter for Curt Trailer Brake Controllers # C51515 is also recommended so you do not have to cut the wires on the back of the # C51170 controller. It makes getting it connected a bit easier and makes the removal, if ever needed, a lot easier.
