Recommended Brake Controller and Adapter for a 2009 Toyota Tundra w/ the Factory Tow Package

Question

Question:

I have a 2009 Tundra that has a factory tow package. With that package includes both a 7 pin round and 4 flat connector. I mostly use the 7 pin. I am not seeing where this controller will work on the 7 pin. Will it work? C51170,C51515

Since your 2009 Toyota Tundra has the factory tow package, you will want the Curt Custom Wiring Adapter item # C51362. This adapter will plug into a port which is under the dash to the left of the steering column.

You will be able to use this adapter to install the Curt Spectrum Trailer Brake Controller item # C51170 without having to cut or splice wires.

The Universal Wiring Adapter for Curt Trailer Brake Controllers item # C51515 you referenced, is for vehicles without the tow package. It has to be hardwired in.

I have linked an installation video below along with a picture to help you find the port in your Tundra.

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.…
