My first question is can the installer use the existing 5 wires and add the two wires for the electric brakes? In your humble opinion, what is the best brake system for the money? Where did you have your system installed? What was the installation cost?

Did you buy the brake controller from the installer?
Here is some good info on trailer harness wiring:

You may want to contact your local Dodge dealer. There may be a factory (plug & play) trailer harness for that vehicle (maybe not too). Using a factory plug in harness is the easiest, cleanest, safest, most trouble free way to add a trailer harness.
