Question:
Hello! I have a 2018 Toyota Highlander Limited with an OEM hitch and wiring harness 4-pin. I need to get it set up for a 7 way, and was looking at using with the Curt Echo. In addition to the Curt Echo, what other items would I need? Thank you!

Expert Reply:
The Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller part # C51180 is an excellent option for a 2018 Toyota Highlander, one of my personal favorites. It can easily be used with an existing 4-way when you add the Wireless Brake Controller Install Kit part # ETBC7L. The two 4-ways will plug into one another, you must ground the white wire, then run the black wire to the battery and you're done.
