Expert Reply:

For your 2020 Chrysler Pacifica, if you don't have the factory tow package, you will need a receiver hitch, wiring for your indicator lights, brake controller and its associated wiring.

- Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver, # C13383

* If you have factory Tow Package
- Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers, # TK93VR & Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Trailer Brake Controller, # 90885

* If you DO NOT have factory Tow Package
- T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118723 (Touring, LX) or # 118712 (Limited, Touring L, Touring L Plus, Touring Plus)
- Add the 7-Way RV Upgrade Kit part # ETBC7 after the 4-way flat is installed on your vehicle.
- Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Trailer Brake Controller, # 90885

The -One Vehicle Wiring Harness options are plug and play to provide a flat 4-way style plug and back of your vehicle. This does not provide the needed power wire to activate the electric brakes on the travel trailer's brake axle. That is why the 7-Way RV Upgrade Kit part # ETBC7 is needed.

The Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Trailer Brake Controller, # 90885 is one of our most popular brake controller options because of its 360-degree vertical mounting option and built-in rotary style override lever. The brake controller can be mounted in any orientation of a 360-degree circle as long as it's in the direction of travel so it's easy to find a spot to mount it. The manual override is also a rotary style wheel that can easily be reached in emergency situations.
