Specs:
The Pro Series Pilot comes equipped with time-delayed braking. Every time you apply the brakes in your vehicle, a signal is sent - via the brake switch - to the Pilot. The controller then sends power out to your trailer brakes to activate them with an intensity set by you, at a rate determined by you. The amount of braking power (output) can be adjusted to suit your preference, the road conditions, the type of trailer, and the weight of your load. To determine which levels are best for your application, test your towing setup and choose what feels right.
Braking output is the maximum amount of power that will be applied to your trailer's brakes. How much braking output you need is determined by the weight of your trailer; a heavier trailer will need more power to bring it to a stop. You want to set the braking output as high as you can without locking up the brakes. Once you've set up the brake controller the first time, you shouldn't need to adjust the settings until the trailer load changes, you switch trailers, or road conditions change. Use the thumbwheel on the side to change the braking output level. The output setting will appear as a number on the digital display, with a higher number indicating higher braking power.
The Pro Series Pilot keeps the manual override within easy reach on the front of the module, great for stopping sway or controlling your trailer's momentum in emergencies. Push the slide-bar to activate the trailer's brakes and brake lights without you having to apply the brakes on your tow vehicle, perfect for limiting trailer movement while you're cruising.
Because inertia plays no role in the functioning of this controller, you do not have to mount the unit at any particular angle. Your mounting options are limitless, so long as you can still easily access the controller and manual override. The Pilot is especially flexible; its microprocessor allows the controller to even be mounted upside down, and it will still give you a readable display. The Pilot can go wherever you need it. Plus, the included wiring adapter eases installation overall. The custom connector end plugs into the port on your vehicle and the other end plugs into the controller.
You can use etrailer's exclusive 7- and 4-way brake control installation kit (ETBC7 - sold separately) if you don't already have a 7-way plug at the back of your vehicle.

Today, we're going to be taking a look at part number 80550. This is the Pilot 2-6 Brake Time Delayed Electronic Brake Controller from Pro Series. It's going to work for 2-6 brakes, which is going to be up to 3 brake axles. One of the main features I want to show you is the large, easy to read dual-digital disk play. I have it connected to our power source. That way, you can just get a really quick look at how easy that display is to see.
Nice, quick response time too. Please keep in mind that this installer must be installed with a 12 volt negative ground system. It's going to provide flexible mounting options and can be installed in any direction. It's got a microprocessor that's going to allow the controller to be mounted upside down and still have a readable display. It's got a feature protection against short circuit or loss of ground. A standard mounting bracket is included as well as the hardware needed to get it attached.
That's going to go on the side here towards the back of the controller. It's got the mounting slots in there and then you can see the different options that you have as far as a versatile mount. This inaudible 00:01:12 right here is going to be the ball mount interface. It's an optional mounting ball pivot kit that we sell that works with this. It's sold separately. You can find that with part number 5298.
A pulse preventer is also recommended. That's available and sold separately with part number 5501. The wheel on this side of the controller is designed to control and adjust the breaking power. This right here is going to be the manual override or the manual slide knob. The wiring system is a simple plug and play feature that allows for easy and quick connection and disconnection. This is designed for use with electric brakes.
It's going to give us an overall width of 3 1/2 inches, overall length of 4 3/4 of an inch, and then an overall height of about 1 9/16ths of an inch. It's going to be covered with a limited lifetime warranty. If a custom break wiring adapter is not available for your vehicle, one of the following will be required: Either a 20 amp circuit breaker for 2-4 brake applications or a 30 amp circuit breaker for 6-8 brake applications. When it comes to the wiring on this system, your white wire is going to be your ground. Your black is going to be for the positive battery. Your red is going to be for the cold side of the stop light switch, and then your blue wire is going to be for the brake output to the trailer. That's going to do it for our review of part number 80550. This is the Pilot 2-6 Brake Time Delayed Electronic Brake Controller from Pro Series. .
good value but the swivel mount being optional should be made more clear
Plugged directly into the connector provide by the tow package on my 2019 4-Runner. Every thing lit up like it suppose to on the trailer break controller.
This was long enough to route across from the emergency brake to the center console. Grounded white wire to a bolt under the dash with a 10mm nut. Easy
After 1 year of flawless use I am very pleased with this wiring harness for my 2016 Toyota 4Runner. The installation was super simple and easy; plug and play. I would definitely purchase again for another vehicle.
worked as described
Plug and play! I've had the same brake controller on several vehicles...get the correct harnest for your vehicle and easy peezy! Advice: Plan on how you're going to route your wire harnest first before mounting brackets.
Added this to my 4Runner to pull my motorcycle trailer. Easy to install works as expected. Very happy with product and etrailer, they will get my future business.
Received it fast and it worked great. Thanks etrailer!
Worked exactly as expected. The install took me about an hour total because I needed to remove some trim panels to attach the ground.
I used this product before on a 2018 4 runner now on my 2021 love it works easy. Was in a bind
To get trailer and needed trailer brake paid extra to get it day before I headed out and it did arrive and installed ! Thank you
Great deal
easy to use brake box
The wiring for the Tekonsha proportional brake control fit my 2016 4 Runner perfectly. Plus the videos that etrailer has showing where the plug in is under the dash made finding it a cinch.
Thank you so much etrailer- Anthony, one of their staff even sent me the links for the wiring and the brake controller videos so I wouldn't have to hunt for them. Amazing staff- very helpful. Thank you so much.
fit, and worked perfectly
Great product
I haven't installed anything from my order just yet so i can't comment on the products just yet. I'm sure that these, like the others I've purchased over the years will do the job as advertised. This isn't my first time dealing with etrailer, so I'm not at all concerned with the job before me. Very few companies I've dealt with are as capable and competent as etrailer. Their customer service is second to none. Every employee I've spoken with has been well versed in the products as well as their uses and their installation. I highly recommend. Love these folks.
Plugged in to 2016 4Runner TE and Tekonsha Voyager brake controller. Works great. Easy install. Be sure to connect white ground lug to a good metal grounded location. Simple to install and price is great.
I ordered this product from Etrailer ( 3041-P). It is made very well and the instructions for plugging it into my 4Runner were spot on. I needed to confirm of fit and availability and talked to there customer service Rep Christina. I was delivered to my house in just a day or two.
This OEM adapter made the Tekonsha brake controller installation a very simple process. Installed in about 2 minutes.
The usual "excellent customer service" and "fair product pricing" that Etrailer.com has spoiled us with for years now...nothing to see...move along...lol
Purchased Brake Controller and Wiring adapter. It was just as easy (or even easier) an installation than described. Dealer wanted about $150 to "wire" my brake installer. I noticed this product on-line and read reviews and decided to see if it really was what it said. It took my son around 10-15 minutes to get it mounted and ground. When plugged into trailer, it worked!!
When contacting Customer Service, I was very impressed.
Installed on a 2016 SR5 4Runner. Plugged right in, white wire with pre-crimped terminal loop made it a snap. Super easy install.
The Prodigy P2 Trailer Brake Controller for 2018 Toyota TRD Off Road 4x4 4Runner
Easy to install
I pull 4800 pounds behind my 4Runner after a year no problems yet.
The price was right,
Easy to install.
Thank You
Worked like a charm. Installed easily in 2014 4Runner & 1997 Chevy 2500. No problems, no hiccups, no glitches pulling a 7x20 12k flatbed. etrailer.com videos, specifically installation videos are very valuable and one reason I keep coming back to etrailer.com. The folks where I bought the trailer said I made a great choice with this controller. I couldn't agree more.
