Recommended Brake Controller and 7-Way Kit for a 2025 Subaru Outback Wilderness

Question

Question:

Hello, I have a 2025 Subaru Outback Wilderness with OEM trailer hitch and 4 pin. Want to upgrade so that I can tow a tent trailer with existing electric brakes and 7pin. I think I need part numbers: TK94FR and ETBC7L. I like the descriptions of these products. Please confirm they are suitable for my vehicle, and if you recommend something else instead of these.

Answer 5

At this time the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 #90195 does not have a custom wiring harness, so you would need to hardwire a connection using Wiring Kit #5506 if you have the factory 7-way or #ETBC7 if you have the factory 4-way. If you need a replacement…

The 1.5x22mm is actually a common designation. The 1.5 is 1.5mm and is referring to the pitch. The 22 is 22mm and is the length of the threaded part. The diameter is 3/8 but since it is metric that would equate to 10mm. So you would need a 10mm nut…
