Replacing Factory Brake Controller On 2019 Toyota Tundra
Updated 08/16/2021 | Published 08/14/2021
Question:
I HAVE A 2019 TOYOTA TUNDRA 4X4 CREWMAX WITH 5.7L V8, IT HAS A FACTORY BRAKE CONTROLLER THAT IS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 12000 MILES ON IT, BUT TOYOTA DOESNT SEEM TO HAVE A FIX FOR THIS ISSUE. SO, I AM LOOKING TO INSTALL AN AFTERMARKET BRAKE CONTROLLER BUT HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND THE CORRECT WIRING HARNESS THAT WILL CONNECT TO THE FACTORY ELECTRICAL. I HAVE ATTACHED A PICTURE OF THE ELECTRICAL PLUG THAT CAME OUT OF THE FACTORY BRAKE CONTROLLER. ANY INFORMATION OR HELP THAT YOU CAN GIVE WILL BE GREATELY APPRECIATED. WE ARE PLANNING TO PULL 6000LBS INTO THE MOUNTAINS IN A FEW WEEKS AND I MUST GET THIS ISSUE FIXED ON THIS TRUCK BEFORE I GO OR GET A DIFFERENT TRUCK. REALLY HOPING THERE IS AN EASY FIX FOR THIS. THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY HELP YOU CAN PROVIDE.

At this point in time, there is not a brake controller that will tap into the adapter that your factory controller plugs into. The best solution out there for the 2019 Toyota Tundra is the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller - 1 to 2 Axles - Proportional # C51180. This is a wireless brake controller that simply plugs into your 7 way trailer connector at the back of your vehicle. You will not have to mess with any wiring whatsoever. I attached a demonstration video for you to check out.
