Question:

I have a customer who needs a tow hitch with a 7 way receiver for his farm. Is that even possible? The picture I am attaching is exactly what he needs and is on his 2013 Highlander.

Expert Reply:

You will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # 118449.

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.

Then for a trailer hitch the etrailer.com hitch part # E98858 would be a great option. This hitch has a 2 inch opening and has a high capacity at 5,000 lb trailer capacity.
