Question:
What wiring harness do I need to tow a trailer with brakes with a 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander? I only see 4-ways. Also need to know what other parts to get. Thanks

To install a 7-Way harness on your 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander you will need two separate wiring harnesses because they don't make just one that'll do the job.
The first harness you'll need is either the Curt T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness item # C59236 if you have the tow package or item # C59236 if you do not. The item # C79VV is a custom-fit T-connector that plugs into your Toyota's wiring harness, which is located in your cargo area. The Curt item # C59236 is a universal option for Grand Highlanders that do not have the tow package and must be spliced in. Both will provide you with a 4-flat connector.
The second harness you will need is the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller item # ETBC7. The kit includes a pre-wired 7- and 4-way trailer connector that mounts easily at the rear of your vehicle with an included bracket. This kit is designed for use on a vehicle with an existing 4-way flat trailer connector and plugs directly into it.
Some other parts you will need to tow a trailer with your 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander are listed below:
Trailer Hitch - Curt Hitch item # C26VV
Wiring Harness Mount - No-Drill Mount Bracket item # 18136
Brake Controller - Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller item # RED24FR and Wiring Adapter item # RED69FR
Ball Mount - Curt Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches item # C45534
