The Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty # RED24FR is the way to go over the Elite # RED44FR as you get the nicer functions of the Elite at a lower price.

Proportional controllers sense how hard you are applying the vehicle brakes whereas time delayed means it puts a preset amount... view full answer...

I recommend going with the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite # RED44FR for towing with your 2022 Toyota Tacoma for a few reasons; not only does it have a totally customized install when you pick up the Adapter # RED99FR and Mounting Panel # 331-TPSI-002, but it also gives you the most customizable towing experience. You can use proportional braking for normal, everyday use, but then you can switch it over to user-control mode if you'll be on the brakes a LOT or even going off-road!

You're correct that you'll need to start with a 4-way trailer harness like the Curt # CU94FR, which will connect directly to the plug in at the rear of your vehicle.

Yes, you are looking for part number, # 90195 for the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller and need the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers, # TK93VR too.

If your 2005 Toyota Tacoma has the factory tow package then you can use the Custom Wiring Adapter # 3040-P and Redarc Adapter # 331-TPH-017 to install the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty # RED52VR and avoid splicing into any wiring on your truck. If you have the accessory panels on your truck you can also use the Mounting Panel # 331-TPSI-007 to give your install a custom look.

You will need a Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller # RED44FR to control the brakes on your R-Pod Trailer from your 2022 Toyota Tacoma. The factory tow package on your Tacoma does not include a brake controller.
The Redarc is a very small profile controller as most of it will mount behind the dash and you can use the Mounting Panel # 331-TPSI-002 to place it in one of the empty switch slots on your Tacoma. Wiring is very simple as the Plug-and-Play Wiring Harness # RED99FR... view full answer...
Yes, there is another option to add a brake controller to your Ranger. Since you have the factory tow package, I recommend the Curt Echo In-Line Wireless Brake Controller item # C79DR. The controller plugs in behind your 7-way with included connectors. This will completely eliminate any need to hardware a controller.
The Echo In-Line is a proportional brake controller that slows or stops your trailer when your Ranger decelerates. It uses Bluetooth to communicate with your phone so you... view full answer...
There isn't anything like an autonomous controller that would step up if the factory controller fails.
I'd simply bypass the existing factory brake controller. The GM ITBC, although it works better now than the earlier models has been problematic enough that Tekonsha who provides many of our aftermarket brake controllers has a technical bulletin that specifically addresses how to bypass the factory controller. Let's just say you aren't the only one that's had problems with the factory... view full answer...
Smart to confirm, and I verified for you directly with Tekonsha that yes, the plug-in connector for the BMW X5 you asked about is 100 percent compatible with the Prodigy P2 brake controller, with the parts being the following:

- Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Brake Controller # 90885 view full answer...

I spoke to Curt and the Echo Brake Controller # C51180 is not DOT approved. Unfortunately, they also mentioned none of their brake controllers are DOT approved and could not give me a reason as to why this is.
With this in mind, I decided to contact Tekonsha as they have the Prodigy RF Wireless Controller # TK94FR. They also mentioned that none of their controllers are DOT approved. Again I asked why this is, and received pretty much the same response of not knowing. He did mention that... view full answer...
It looks like you've got everything you need, except for a brake controller.
The Curt # C51180 Echo Wireless Brake Controller would be very effective, with your vehicle being already pre-wired, the install would be plug and play. The only knock I have on the Echo is that it can't be locked to the vehicle. If you leave your vehicle unattended for a few minutes, somebody could walk off with it, which would leave you without functional trailer brakes.
For this reason, and because you're... view full answer...
The factory brake controller connector on your 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee is located under the dash behind the hood latch, as shown in the provided photo.

If you have the tow package, to install the Tekonsha # TK90160 Primus brake controller on your 2021 Grand Cherokee you'll need the Tekonsha # TK93VR wiring harness. One end plugs into... view full answer...
Assuming your 2021 Ford Ranger is equipped with the factory 7-way trailer connector, the install of a # RED44FR Redarc Tow-Pro Elite would be identical to what's shown in the linked video.
May I make a suggestion though? Unless you really need the user-control mode offered by the Tow-Pro Elite which would usually be used in low-speed off-road situations, there's no reason not to save a few dollars and go with the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty, part # RED24FR which would work the same as the... view full answer...
To access the connector for the Plug-and-Play Wiring Harness # RED99FR you will need to remove the door sill plate along with the left kick panel in the drivers compartment. Once you remove the kick panel the connector is located behind the large white junction block. This connector will be by itself not plugged into anything. The harness also requires connecting to the ground screw which you will find close to the door on the side panel. This will allow you to plug in the Redarc Tow-Pro... view full answer...
It's very easy to install a trailer brake controller on a 2021 Honda Ridgeline. I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90195 which comes with a harness that you could simply attach to the one that came with the vehicle. If you don't want to join any wires whatsoever then you can get the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers part # 3070-P for a complete plug-in-play install. There should be no other steps needed like fuses etc. view full answer...

There are options to utilize the air brakes on your 2017 Freightliner XC-Series to control electric brakes like the Hayes Air Actuated Trailer Brake Controller, part # HA100400C.
However, we mostly recommend just using an electric brake controller since they tie into the stop light switch of the tow vehicle, making it irrelevant what kind of brakes it has.

According to my available specs for your 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LTD, you already have a 4-way and 7-way installed with your tow package. All you need to do is install the components that come with the brake controller itself.
For a great brake controller, I recommend either the Tekonsha Voyager # 39510 or the Curt Echo # C51180. Both of these controllers are proportional controllers which means that the controller activates the trailer brakes... view full answer...
Thank you so much for your kind words. We strive to give everyone the information they need so they can make the best choices for their vehicles.
A factory 7-way (or any 7-way for that matter) does not send braking signals to a trailer's brakes. Instead, it provides the power and functionality needed for a brake controller to do that. These two have to work in conjunction in order to utilize the trailer's brakes.
That having been said, many vehicles these days (especially those with... view full answer...
Your 2021 Buick Enclave has a wiring pigtail and not a connector for wiring a Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller # RED44FR. The 4 wires are located below the OBD2 port behind the side kick plate(see Image). This is where you will be able to attach the included pigtail using the Heat Shrink Butt Connectors # DW05744-5 and # DW05745-5. You will only need 2 of each connectors for the 4 wires that connect to the brake controller pigtail. view full answer...

That is correct. If your 2021 Wrangler Unlimited has the connector located under the dash to the left of the steering column near the top of the e-brake pedal as shown in the provided photo, you'd use the # 3073-P harness to connect the # 90195 Tekonsha P3 to the connector under the dash. You'd want to sever the blue wire exiting the rear of the controller and connect it to the blue output circuit you ran from the MOPAR 7-way you installed.

For a brake controller I recommend the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite # RED44FR because it not only is a great controller, but it also installs out of the way and has a small knob that you use to adjust settings. Since space is typically limited in and around the dash of minivans nowadays the mounting convenience is invaluable.
