Question:
Does the ETBC7L harness have duplex wires to the front of the vehicle?

Hey David.
The # ETBC7L does not have duplex wire. This setup is best for a wireless break controller like the Curt Echo # C51180 for example. If you are looking for something with a duplex wire the # ETBC7 is perfect. It has 10-gauge duplex wire that runs to the front for your 12V connection to the battery and a break output wire to run to the cab for your break controller. It just depends on whether you'd like to use a wireless break controller or a wired/in-cab controller.
Do you already have a brake controller picked out, or are you still deciding between a wired and wireless setup?
