Question:

Does this hitch come with the brake so it can be used for a travel trailer that has a brake? Is it part of the package?

Expert Reply:

The Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 75715, does not come with any additional accessories. To complete the towing set up, you will need a ball mount, a ball, a pin and clip, and trailer wiring. To activate electric brakes on a trailer you would need to add a brake controller and 7-Way trailer connector.

If the trailer has surge brakes then the brakes will activate when the vehicle brakes with no additional parts needed.

For a ball mount, you can use # 40202, and for a pin and clip use # PC3. If you need a 2 inch ball use # A-90 and for a 2-5/16 inch ball use # 19286. To add a 4-way trailer connector, use # 118553. I have included instructions for the hitch and wiring for you.

To add a trailer brake controller if the trailer has electric brakes, you will then need to install a 4 and 7-Way installation kit # ETBC7. I have included some links that explain the ETBC7 installation. You will then need a brake controller. Our most popular controller is the P2, # 90885, because it is easy to set up and easy to use. I have included a link to the installation details for it as well.
