Question:
I didnt anything related to my issue in your posted listings but I may have missed it, but I bought a 19 foot trailer with a 7-way plug in and my truck has a 4-way now. I need to change this and add a brake controller under the dash and I need some direction.-Thanks. Its a 2005 Chevy Silverado with a extended cab, 4 by 4, 4.8 litre

We can help you with 7-way wiring and a brake controller for your 2005 Silverado.
Your truck should already have wiring run for a 7-way; this is likely to be found tucked up above the spare tire. If you find blunt-cut wires there you will use part # PK11898. If you instead find a round U.S. Car connector then you will use part # 30955. Both of these options give you a 7-way socket on the vehicle.
For a brake controller I recommend the highly-rated and easy-to-use Prodigy P2 # 90885. This will install simply, using the matching quick-connect wiring adapter # 3015-P, as shown in the linked video.
