I am pulling a 2011 Palamino Y series pop up trailer with electric brakes all my truck gas is a 4 prong plug please tell me what I need for this unit.

Hey Phil! The first thing you need to do is upgrade that 4-way to a 7-way. The # ETBC7 comes with the adapter, wiring, breakers, and everything else required to turn your 4-way into a 7-way.
Once this is installed, the only other thing you need is a brake controller like the Curt TriFlex NEXT # C67PQ to power the brakes on your trailer.
Where are you headed with the Palomino once you get your Ram set up?
