Parts Needed to Install Brake Controller in 2009 Toyota RAV4

Question:

Im looking at installing part # ETBC7 and # 39523 on my 2009 Toyota Rav4 V6. I will be towing a camper trailer with a GVW of about 2700 lbs. Is there a plug and play built-in port for a brake controller wire adapter like part # 3041-P available for my vehicle? Thank you.

For your 2009 Toyota RAV4 there isn't a plug and play style of brake controller install harness so you'd have to hardwire one in with the # ETBC7 plus a 4-way kit part # 118412 if you do not have a 4-way already.

Those two parts would be all you need to install the brake controller part # 39523 that you mentioned in your 2009 Toyota RAV4.

I attached an install video for the ETBC7 installed in a Rav4 similar to your 2009 model.

Yes. The info provided was very helpful. I ordered the controller and 4 to 7 pin wire harness. Waiting for delivery. I do have another question. I want to install a transmission cooler, but am not finding a step by step installation video for my 2009 RAV4. Does eTrailer have one available? If not, can you refer me to another site that would? My Google search is coming up dry. Also, is a Class II transmission cooler recommend for my vehicle? The hitch is rated to 3500 lbs.

For your vehicle we have the Derale cooler part # D13503 which is our most popular option for your vehicle and would work great.

We don't have a specific install video for your vehicle for this kit but since the process is pretty standard between vehicles I attached an install video on a similar SUV for you to check out below.
