Expert Reply:

I'd be happy to help with that. You'll need the Tekonsha # 118286 7-way harness which is a plug and play install as shown in the linked video. If your trailer doesn't have brakes, simply install the harness as shown, and you'll be good to go.

If your trailer has electric brakes, you'll also need to install a brake controller to actuate them. The Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty, part # RED24FR would be a great choice. The controller itself mounts under the dash out of sight, and everything is controlled by one knob that can be installed in an unused switch knockout on the dash or console. If a knockout isn't available, you can use the # 331-TPSI-001 mounting bezel for a tidy, factory installed appearance.

You'll also need the # RED59FR wiring harness which plugs into the connector located behind the hood release lever.
