Trailer brake controller installation in your 2015 Toyota Sequoia Limited with the tow package will be a simple process. Vehicles that have the tow package include a 7-way trailer connector as well as a connection point under the dash for easy plug-in installation of a brake controller such as the Prodigy P2 # 90885.

In this case all you need is the controller and the matching installation harness # 3040-P. The harness plugs in between the back of the P2 and the connection point under the dash. An installation video for a similar Toyota vehicle is linked for you.

If you do not have a factory 7-way you can still install the controller via hardwiring it. For that install you do not need part # 3040-P but instead parts # ETBC7 and # 119250KIT.

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.…
