Question:
Which product do you recommend for my vehicle. Boat, motor, trailer, and gear weight is approx. 2,000 lbs. I have two boats. Can I get a separate actuator for the second boat? Will I need anything else than the Prodigy 2 or 3 and a separate actuator?EOH for 2011 ToyotaTundra

Expert Reply:
Starting with the vehicle I recommend the P2, # 90885, because it is easy to set up, easy to use, and it is reliable. If your 2011 Toyota Tundra came with a factory 7-Way then you will also need harness # 3040-P. I have included some links to installation instructions for you.
If the truck came with a 4-Way flat trailer connector then you will not use # 3040-P and instead use # ETBC7 to hardwire the 7-Way and controller to the vehicle. I have included some links that explain the ETBC7 installation.
On the trailer you will need to fit each one with its own actuator. The Titan BrakeRite I Plug and Play Electric-Hydraulic Actuator Kit # T4813102. You will also need a break away kit on each trailer, # T4822100, if you do not already them installed.
