Question:

Thanks for the reply that’s very helpful. Could you answer my question about the sway bar setup? My trailer wiggles when I pull it. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks.

For your 2007 Toyota 4Runner, the Prodigy P3 # 90195 is what I recommend for your brake controller. If you have the factory 7-way, then you will simply use wiring harness # 3040-P and you'll be ready to go. If you don't have the factory 7-way then you will need to hardwire the controller using # 5506 if you have a 7-way or # ETBC7 if you need to add a 7-way.

I've attached a couple videos to assist.

Sorry I missed that. I thought you already had sway control based on the wording. My recommendation because you have a sway issue with your bar is to upgrade to a weight distribution system with integrated sway control. I recommend the Reese # RP66082 because it actively works to prevent sway and keep your trailer in line with your vehicle instead or trying to mitigate sway that is already happening like friction bar systems do.
