First, the easiest way to determine what features your vehicle has is to have a dealership run the VIN number. They will be able to tell you if you have a tow package and what other options the vehicle has. It looks like if the vehicle did have a tow package from the factory it would have come with a 7-Way.

If you have already installed a trailer wiring harness and you want to add a fully functional 7-Way, I recommend using the 4 and 4-Way installation kit, # ETBC7. This kit provides all the wiring and parts you will need to install the 7-Way. It also contains all the wiring for a brake controller. I have included links that will explain how to install the ETBC7 kit.

If you need a brake controller, I recommend the Tekonsha P2, # 90885. It is one of our most popular brake controllers because it is easy to set up and easy to use. I have included a link to the installation details for you.
