Best 2017 Toyota Tundra Trailer Brake Controllers

Install was fairly easy. I used a wiring adapter for my Tundra. That meant no wire splicing etc. Have not pulled my trailer with it yet. Will review again when I get a chance.

I installed a P3 Tekonsha with cable adapter on my 2017 Toyota Tundra which has a factory brake assist but didn't work on my 2013 Airstream . You tube helped with installing the cable and finally how to remove the factory brake assist unit to get to the cable, it wasn't to bad but I didn't want break or scratch anything . We went on a trip had to adjust the unit once "post calibration" and had a BRAKE worry free trip! Thank you guys so much for your help on something Toyota dealers couldn't and wouldn't help me with! Next time I'll buy a Chevrolet/Ford. FYI... a short note on installing the cable would help greatly thanks again . DR

Tried to order Tekonsha powertrac controller w/ plug-in adapter for 2017 Tundra from local Auto parts store. Gave up after 45 mins. of explaining what a controller did, left the store and went on line to Etrailer, placed my order and in 3 days I have my controller in and working perfect in less than 20 mins. Thank you Etrailer !!

Installed on 2003 Toyota Tundra with the factory tow package. Installation was a breeze with the included vehicle specific wiring adapter. It took me about 45 minutes total. Looks professionally installed. Easy to use. Set the adjustment for your specific trailer and go!

It was easy to set up and worked as advertised.

I got what looked like a used product in a smashed box from way it was taped up it looked like etrailer.com sent it this way from their warehouse that was missing hardware and documentation.  Looking at other reviews this looks like a common practice.

For modern day technology this thing works great. I hope it lasts many years....A++++

This was plug and play for my 2011 Toyota Sequoia.

Makes for a very clean and custom installation. Much nicer than hanging the whole mechanism. Because of the Toyota harness I purchased not including the plug for the Redarc and this model Redarc not including this part, I had to order the Redarc plug after receiving what was in effect an incomplete order. I'd order the more expensive Redarc controller if a custom harness was not available for my vehicle.

Purchased this controller for use on my 2017 Toyota Tundra. It looks great after the install. I took a couple of hours to get it in from box opening to completion (with frequent distractions from children) but the manual was great and installation went smoothly. To clarify the issue with the blue lights I’ve seen as a complaint. When you start the car, it goes through it’s calibration procedure. If no trailer is attached, it blinks the two blue LEDs for a bit saying no trailer is detected. If you touch the brake pedals those blinking lights turn off. While you’re driving no lights are on. Then, every time you push the brakes the two blue LEDs turn on while the brake pedal is depressed to say you’re braking and it doesn’t detect a trailer. Honestly, I’m glad for those lights because if my trailer was connected and I saw those lights while braking I’d know there was something wrong with the connection. I put my unit directly to the left of the steering wheel so I’ll only see the lights when I lean over and look yet it’s easily accessible while in the drivers seat. Everyone was telling me to grab a P2 or P3, I’m glad I didn’t listen. This is nicely out of the way, easily accessible, clean and simple, and very capable unit with all the necessary capabilities one needs in a brake controller.

Nice little unit. Really like the fact you only have the control knob showing. Was hoping it was small enough to fit in extra spot on Tundra next to the traction control button. Was a little large but found a great out of the way really factory looking spot for it. Have not had a chance to hook up trailer yet but as far as install goes it was super easy using the pigtail plug. True plug and play. Instructions were very easy to read and understand.

Works great. Would recommend practicing with it before hitting the road because it does act a little different than a regular brake controller. Requires a little more effort on braking for it to engage.

After installing this controller, towing my trailer has become so easy! I just plug in the electrical cable to my truck and go. If I need to adjust the braking strength, the remote on my keychain makes it simple with just a few clicks. This is much better than the Echo controller I was using. I love it!

I am very satisfied with the Dexter Axle Predator Electric Brake controller. I purchased the Dexter brake controller to be compatible with Dexter car trailer axles on a 16 foot car hauler. The braking unit is very useful when towing in very steep and winding mountain terrain. I feel that the braking is a necessary safety item when towing in a hilly or mountainous environment and the Dexter Predator brake controller provides the great control and driver peace of mind knowing that a heavy load can be managed. The unit installs very easily with the proper adapter.

My brake controller was a great match for my needs. I have a 4 brake trailer which gets the proper control from my Dexter unit. From empty weight to heavy load the adjustment is just a slight roll of the knob. I like the digital read out so I can glance down to check system operations. It does great f or me and fit right in to the factory wire set up in my truck

easy to use brake box

Great brakebox

I was replacing an older style controller. The wiring was just about the same and was very easy to adapt with soldered connections and shrink tube. The control knob turned out very factory looking with the proper dash insert. Just tried out once with the tailer but really works well. Definitely recommend!!

The only reason I did 4 was because the kit has you drill two holes, it mentions a template for drilling but none was included. I had to use the measurements in mm and pick a bit because it detail what size. Start small. Where I installed the switch there is some reinforcement that I had to dremel to get it installed but this the location Ford indicated. 23 Ranger Tremor.

Make sure you read into it further to make sure you are buying all the parts needed to make it work. Will need to add another Tuson Heavy Duty Truck Module Kit for DirecLink Brake Controller - 16 Pin 335HDCON-16PIN to make it work on HD Trucks.

Perfect for my application.

The break controller worked seamlessly. Profiles are easy to set up and it has very reliable Bluetooth connectivity with my phone. Installation was really easy on my Honda Pilot!

This is my first proportional brake controller. Stopping is much smoother without sacrificing safety. Communication by bluetooth makes for a clean installation.

This worked perfect in our 2020 Acura MDX. Love how it looks and operates. I removed the center council (see link to video on how to below) and mounted everything in there. The control knob looks great and is out of the way. I removed the 12 volt charger port and put the knob in its place. The only catch was it was not easy to find the fuse for the brake controller. After research and trial and error, I found the fuse was #17 in the rear fuse box. I appreciate the great service and support from etrailer.

Purchased a 22' R-Pod 192 TT to pull behind my 2019 Benz GLS450 with a factory tow package. It was equipped with the "green brake connector" located by the left kick panel. Contacted etrailer to help choose the correct combination of parts for my vehicle. Was suggested the Redarc EBRH-ACCV3-NA Brake Controller and a TPH-017 Wire Harness. Once products were received, still needed a harness from the green connector to the unit. Wrote to manufacturer in Australia and was told also needed etrailer part number 3066-P. Ordered. Now had everything needed. However, where to mount the switch? One individual with the same Benz mounted it next to the cup holders, but he didn't have a switch for the cold/hot--I did. There was no where else to drill a 1" hole. Got an L-bracket from hardware store and modified it to accommodate the switch. Mounted the main unit securely to the underside of the dash panel and used 3M Dual Lock tape to attach it--no holes to drill. Haven't had an opportunity to tow yet; however, did follow the instructions for the initial "learn" by driving and braking without a trailer attached. Been quite a challenge, but happy with the results and support from manufacturer and etrailer. Happy Camping!

Received my inline echo brake control module, installed fairly quickly took a bit to sync the system though, time will tell if it truly works like advertised installed on my F150
