Brake controller and 7-way socket installation in your 2016 Toyota Sienna LE AWD can be accomplished using our installation kit # ETBC7. This kit includes all parts to install a controller and have a functioning 7-way that carries lighting, trailer brake power and a 12V circuit for your trailer.

If you do not have a 4-pole flat trailer harness on the Sienna you will also need one of those, part # 118648 from Tow Ready.

For a controller I recommend the Prodigy P2 # 90885 for its easy set-up and proven reliability. The Power Trac controller # 39523 you referenced will work for you too, but since this is a time-delay type controller it will not deliver the smooth braking performance you can get from a proportional unit like the P2. The linked article explains.

Installation videos/articles are linked for you to illustrate the process.
