You will when you get yours, it is a 7 pin connector :W.

If you mean brake controller that is certainly feasible. When we ordered our PW Excel in 07 we asked for a trailer hitch so that we could attach our bike rack. To our surprise it was delivered with the trailer hitch, but also electrical connections and a Hayes Brake Controller (Syncronizer P/N 81725) installed under the steering column. It is meant to manually control electric brakes on a trailer if so equipped. We never used it since we never towed, just used the bike rack.
Hope this helps.

Not sure what you mean, trailer brakes as an option?
If you mean, can you order a trailer brake controller to be installed at the factory, I doubt it, but if you want to know for sure, you could contact Pleasureway directly, or one of their dealers, and ask. I don't know of any class B vans that come with more than a factory installed hitch receiver and a 4 pin connector, but that may have changed. I think many people use the hitch receiver to add a bike rack, rather than to actually tow something. Maybe some do.
Whether or not one can be added afterwards is probably model dependent. A dealer service department should be able to install one for you.

Why would a B need trailer brakes? Do you mean a factory brake controller?
