Recommended Brake Controller to 2024 Nissan Frontier With Tow Package

Question

Question:

I have a 2024 Frontier with the tow package and I would like to add a brake controller. Can you please give me a recommendation? I believe I have a place to plug one in under the dash so I don't want to splice something in.

For your 2024 Nissan Frontier I recommend the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller # RED24FR. I like the Liberty because it is simple, reliable, and looks great in any vehicle. The main unit installs behind the dash, so only the control knob will be visible. The knob controls the braking power and acts as the manual override. It also uses colored LED lights for diagnostics. The # RED39FR wiring harness will plug into the port under the dash you referenced for a plug and play installation.

@Glenn take a look at the video I attached starting at the 4:30 mark. You probably tried to match it up with the first plug Conner referenced which is why it didn't fit. The factory tow port will be taped up above the smaller plug.

The best brake controller option to go with is one that activates the brakes proportionally instead of time delayed. A proportional brake controller will activate the trailer brakes at the same time and with the same intensity as the tow vehicle…

Yes, 14 gauge wire seems too small. I would go with 10 or 12 gauge. For 10 gauge you can use #10-1-1 and for 12 gauge use #12-1-1. These wires are sold in increments of 1 foot. So if you needed 20 feet of wire you would enter 20 in the quantity box.…

That's a very good question, we tend to be extra cautious and say to use 10 gauge wire because that would be more than enough. When you get into longer trailers that will end up using a lot of wire the heavier gauge wire becomes more necessary.…

To wire your electric brakes you will want to run 10 gauge wire #10-1-1 to one of the brakes and run it to the other brake, using butt connectors like #05732-2 to connect them. The grounds will not be spliced, each brake assembly should have its own…

In most cases, you can just simply add brakes to the existing axle and you don't need an entire new axle. That said, this is all based on the axle capacity and I don't have any way to look this up for you. If you have a 3,500 lb axle for…
