It would be a 7-way harness you'd need to have installed on your vehicle. You can let me know what vehicle you have and what trailer wiring is present there currently and I can see what your best option would be.

Hello thank you so much for your respond. I drive a 2008 Acura MDX. What is your recommendation?!

For your 2008 Acura MDX you'd need to start with a 4-way and then convert it to a 7-way. You may have a 4-way already but if not you'd want the # 118424 which installs easily and is very reliable.

Now if your trailer does not have brakes all you would need is the part # 37185 as an adapter to convert the 4-way to a 7-way.

If you do have trailer brakes you would need the # ETBC7 instead of the # 37185 and a brake controller. This kit comes with everything needed to wire up the 7-way and install a brake controller.

For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup.
