Assuming that your 2008 Toyota Sequoia has the factory 7-way connector, the factory trailer brake controller port will be above the emergency brake pedal. Removing the driver side kick panel will allow you to easily find the connector.

Now if your Sequoia does NOT have a factory 7-way connector then you will need to first install a 4-way connector using # 118412, and then add a 7-way connector using # ETBC7. You will need to hard wire the controller if this is the case, as the port is only there on vehicles with a factory 7-way connector.

If you do not already have a trailer brake controller I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 due to it being extremely reliable, and being a proportional controller which has a built in inertia sensor that detects the intensity that you apply your brakes in your Sequoia and sends the same braking intensity to your trailers brakes.

You will need the plug in adapter # 3040-P to connect the P3 to the factory trailer brake controller port.

I included videos of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.

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.…

You're right, the mounting bracket is unique (in a good way) for the Curt TriFlex NEXT Trailer Brake Controller #C24VV. The bracket is smaller and all you do is put the included adhesive tape on the bracket and stick it wherever you like under…

The best brake controller option to go with is one that activates the brakes proportionally instead of time delayed. A proportional brake controller will activate the trailer brakes at the same time and with the same intensity as the tow vehicle…

Sure, I can help with that. I can see why the fitment notes are confusing. For a 2012 Toyota Tundra with the factory tow package and factory 7 way connector, you'll want a brake controller that plugs into the factory brake controller port under…

Yes, Jeff, your 2024 Tacoma TRD is a great match, as is any vehicle with a 7 way connector on the back. You’ll just want to use the Redarc #RED57AR and you won't need anything else. It connects in front of the 7 way outlet on your vehicle, then…
