Hey Todd, I would go with the Curt hitch part # C64NR as it's the most hidden option as only the hitch opening hangs below the rear bumper.
Then for installing a brake controller the first thing to start with is a 4-way like the # 118781 as it installs the easiest and has a very reliable converter box.
Then to convert it to a 7-way the kit you need is the part # ETBC7 which comes with everything needed to convert to a 7-way and wire in a brake controller. Then for a brake controller the Tekonsha BRAKE-EVN part # TK28BR would be a really great option that performs well and costs a little less too so it's a great value.
