Helpful Expert Reply:
If you want to replace just the 7 way plug on the back we do offer a replacement for the factory 7 way plug in part # 30955. This will plug in to the factory harness and give you a 4 way and 7 way plug.
If you are wanting to completely replace the factory harness, we can offer you a wiring setup that would hardwire into the vehicles harness. For a 4 flat connector you can install the # 119178KIT. If you want to upgrade it to a 7 way you can add on the # ETBC7 Kit. This will be everything you need to add all new wiring from the ground up. From there you can add on a brake controller if needed. I recommend the Tekonsha prodigy P3 # 90195 for a great all around dash mount controller.
I have linked a few install videos below if you want to get a better look at what is involved.
