100% we can hook you up with the parts needed to add a hitch, wiring, and brake controller to your 2012 Chevy Express passenger van. For cargo mats we don't have anything able to cover the entire floor area, the best we can do is offer floor mats like the WeatherTech All-Weather Rear Floor Mats # WTW25GR.

I know those mats aren't what you wanted specifically but I thought it wouldn't hurt to at least give you the option if you wanted. As for the hitch, wiring and brake controller? That we got and here is exactly what you need:

- etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98861

- T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 55540

- Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7

- Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller # RED24FR

- Wiring Harness for Redarc Tow-Pro Trailer Brake Controllers # RED69FR

For the wiring, you will first install the 4-flat, which will activate your trailer's lighting functions, and you'll then plug that into the 7-way that comes with the # ETBC7, which also gives you the wiring, circuit breakers, and rest of the hardware needed for installation. The only other thing I recommend because you have a long passenger van is adding extra 10 gauge brake wire to make sure you have enough to run to the back of your van, and I'd add at least 10 feet of (sold by the foot) 10 Gauge, Brake Wire # 10-2-1.
