The first thing you will need for your 2023 Toyota Sienna Platinum is a 4-way. The Tekonsha # TK69FR is the best and most reliable option. This will plug into the connection points in your rear cargo area. Once installed, you will be able to upgrade to a 7-way using the # ETBC7. The kit includes the adapter, wiring, and everything else you need for installation.

Then for a brake controller, I recommend the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty # RED24FR. The Liberty is great because only the control knob is visible in the cab of your vehicle. This means it has a nice clean look and also doesn't take up space. The knob controls the brake power and also acts as the manual override. The # RED69FR will also be required for installation.

I have attached some installation videos below for your reference.
