An electric trailer brake controller can be installed on pretty much any type of vehicle so long as it uses either a 12V or 24V electrical system. I recommend the Tekonsha Primus IQ Trailer Brake Controller part # TK90160 which is for 12V systems but can also be used on 24V with a voltage reducer which we don't offer. The controller connects to ground, battery, stop light switch, and trailer connector. In regards to the trailer connector, you'll need an industry standard 4-way and for this I recommend the Curt Upgraded Circuit Protected Powered Tail Light Converter part # C56496. This can then be converted to a 7-Way with Brake Controller Install Kit part # ETBC7 which has everything else you need to hook up the electric trailer brake controller.
