Question:

Will the HA81785-HBC work ona 2006 Toyota Highlander Hybrid with Tow package? It looks like this makes quick work of installing a brake controller up front. What about in the back? There is a wiring harness back there is a quick connect system to add a 7 way plug in the back?

Your 2006 Toyota Highlander does not have a brake controller port under the dash of the vehicle so we do not have any install harness that would work.

You will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # 118413.

From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7. I attached installation instructions and an install video for this product as well.

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.
