Question:
Hello, I have a 2014 Subaru Outback with a Trailer-Hitch e42TR already installed. I have this 4pin but its not installed Tekonsha 118467. I am in the process of purchasing a 2017 Taxa Cricket trailer. Whats everything that Ill need to tow the trailer? So far I think I need to install the 4pin I have now and the following parts: 7pin Mounting plate: 18136 7pin wiring kit: ETBC7 Brake controller: 90195 Hitch: CAB-UM Hitch Ball 2inch x 1inch diameter: 63845 Is there anything Im missing? Thanks.

It appears you have it figured out on your parts. My only alteration on the parts would be using the Curt Easy Mount Bracket # C58000 to attach 7-Way # ETBC7 rather than the Mounting Plate # 18136. This is due to having the hidden cross tube on etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e42TR and the Curt Bracket # C58000 will attach to the end of the receiver to hold the 7-way. Here is the list of parts I recommend with the other bracket.
etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e42TR
T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118467
7-Way Universal Installation Kit # ETBC7
Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195
Convert-A-Ball Dual-Cushioned, Adjustable Ball Mount # CAB-UM
2" Hitch Ball # 63845
Of course you already have the receiver and T-One 4-way included in the list above.
