Francesca's link to the installation kit below will give you the charge line and components for your 7 pin plug with charge line. It will also work with your existing 4 pin plug and the 4 pin plugs into the outlet, in the end you will have both the 7 pin connector and the 4 pin too. So if you tow any other
light trailers your still all set up. This is the same kit I used on my Nissan Pathfinder. You will still need to deal with a Brake controller and when its hooked up it attaches to this kit too completeing the tow rig
electrical / brake hook-ups.
As for the trailer ball, depending on what make of trailer and year of trailer you will need eithor a 1-7/8" ball or a 2" ball but as long as you have the stinger you can easily purchase what you need at any auto parts any time. The small 1-1/4" stinger is odd in the open market so if your going to use it get one ahead of time so your ready.
The biggest thing you need is a wad of cash and the engine idling when you find a trailer. You dont have time to Hehaw on a good trailer you have to drop everything and go see it. Any good trailer on the open market with a decent price will be gone in hours. There are more people looking for a good trailer than there are good trailers up
for sale.

Worth checking out even if you pay someone else to do the job!
