Install Harness for Redarc Tow Pro Brake Controller 2020 Toyota Tacoma

Question

Question:

Im installing the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite in 2020 Tacoma. I think I have found the connector under the dash, but it doesnt look like the picture in the manual or like the connector in my 2012 Tacoma. In short, the Tekonsha 3040-P Brake Controller Wiring Adaptor does not seem to fit connector end in the tacoma. To connect the Redarc Tow-Pro controller unit to the Tacoma connector, what is the correct adaptor?

For a 2020 Toyota Tacoma the install harness 3040-P that you have would not be the correct harness to use. To install the Redarc Tow Pro Elite brake controller # RED44FR the correct harness you'd need is the part # RED99FR.

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.…
