Welcome back! It looks like your 2021 Palisade has the Stealth Hitch w/ Towing Kit item # 391HYUNPALIS19T. Already having the 7-way connector gives you plenty of options. The best brake controller is going to be the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty item # RED24FR. This is a proportional brake controller that activates your trailer's brakes when your Palisade decelerates.
The reason the Tow-Pro Liberty is the best option is because of its unique installation method where the only visible portion is the control knob that's about the size of a nickel. The main unit is hidden away inside your dash to be completely out of the way and out of sight. I have attached a picture below of the knob.
The Redarc has a 3-Axis accelerometer that measures deceleration in all directions for precise braking and smooth, uniform stopping action. It is a proportional brake controller that in response to your Hyundai's braking action. It automatically adjusts the trailer's braking based on deceleration of your vehicle.
To complete your installation you can use the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers item # TK78VR. and the Redarc Tow-Pro Wiring Adapter for Tekonsha Brake Controllers item # 331-TPH-017. These two adapters plug directly into the Tow-Pro Liberty and allows you to connect to the Tekonsha adapter that is compatible with your Palisade's factory port.
I have linked an installation video below so you can see the set up process. One thing you will need to verify is that when your Stealth Hitch was installed the blue brake controller wire was connected to the factory wiring harness. The port and the adapter's I recommended will not work if this wire wasn't installed correctly.
