Hey Noe! The Curt 4-Way # C56RJ is still being developed by Curt with no ETA on when that will come out. This wiring harness plugs into the connection points behind the taillights, which tells me there won't be any kind of plug and play 7-way for your vehicle. However, if you want to install a wiring harness right now it is possible.

You will start by adding the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter w/ 4-Way Flat # C59496. Then you will upgrade the 4-way to a 7-way using the # ETBC7. This comes with the adapter, wiring, and everything else you need for installation. I see you were looking at a brake controller as well. The Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty # RED52VR is my favorite brake controller and a great choice. It is incredibly reliable and has an OEM look once installed.

What will you be towing?

So I’m thinking of towing a small pop up camper, and a small trailer to tow dirt bikes. I know the new models come prewired for towing from factory. So my question is will there be some type that just plugs and plays to the vehicle?

@NoeA I can't say for sure, Curt hasn't given us any information on that. I'm fairly certain they're behind on development since they are now the main source of vehicle wiring. Hopkins is gone, and Tekonsha isn't producing anything right now since they're for sale. Both had the same parent company that went bankrupt. Some of these new fits were already behind by a year or more so the universal route is probably the best option.

@RobinH understood. Just curious since on the new models it is unable to turn off the pdc sensors. I knows it’s gonna kinda crazy towing something and sensors going off you know.
