Hey Tom! Since you already have a 4-way on your Tacoma the Universal Installation Kit # ETBC7 is all you need to upgrade to a 7-way. This comes with the adapter, wiring, breakers, and everything else required for installation.

Are you towing a trailer with brakes? If you need a brake controller as well, I recommend the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty # RED52VR. This brake control is both simple and reliable. You can also install the control knob in the dash using # 331-TPSI-007 for a factory look.

What kind of trailer are you towing?

Super easy to install without a break controller in the cab. I am using the Curt Echo break controller which is Bluetooth. I did have to run a power wire up to the battery to power the unit....still pretty easy on my Highlander

@Darryl thanks for sharing! The Curt Echo # C51180 is definitely another great option if you want to avoid installing a traditional brake controller in the cab. Our # ETBC7L kit is designed specifically for that setup. Like you mentioned, you still need to run that 12V power connection from the 7-way up to the battery. I tend to lean toward the Tow-Pro Liberty # RED52VR just because I like having a dedicated controller that's always ready to go without needing to connect through an app. But the Echo is a nice alternative, especially if you want to keep the installation simple and avoid adding anything to the dash.
