Question:

Just bought a 2020 ProMaster 3500 and I want to add a hitch, wiring, and a brake controller so I can tow a trailer. What would you recommend for me? Thanks!

I recommend going with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13295 which fits both EXT and non-EXT models, the Tekonsha OEM Wiring Kit # 22112, the Trailer Connector Socket # HM40975, and the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Brake Controller # RED44FR.

I really like how the Curt trailer hitch looks once it's installed as you can only see the receiver. The wiring tees in behind your tail lights and then comes with all of the wiring and connections you need for a fully-functioning 7-Way. I recommend replacing the 7-Way that comes with the kit with the Hopkins connector that I referenced above because it gives you both 4-Way and 7-Way connector options. You can secure this connector to the trailer hitch by using the No-Drill Mount Bracket # 18136.

The Tow-Pro Elite brake controller is pretty unique because it can be installed virtually anywhere and you only need access to the 3/4" diameter control knob. The control knob has LED lighting integrated into it that changes colors depending on what settings you have chosen. This means that you don't have to try to read a screen while you are driving.
