Can 2022 Toyota Sienna Hybrid Use Tekonsha RF Brake Controller

Question

Question:

Hi Brint, I have a 2022 Toyota Sienna Hybrid with a 4pin rather than a 7 blade. My trailer is under 3000lbs and I'm connecting to it current using an adapter but obviously that doesn't let us activate the trailer brakes. Would this product work for me as well even though I don't have a 7blade on my tow vehicle? Thanks!

Hey John, yes you can use the Tekonsha RF brake controller part # TK94FR on a 2022 Toyota Sienna with a 4-way but you will need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way using the part # ETBC7L which activates the 12 volt accessory circuit as well which the brake controller requires.

Hey John, how did things go after adding the 7-way upgrade kit with the Tekonsha RF brake controller on your Sienna? Did the setup give you good control over your trailer brakes? Your update could make it easier for others working with a 4-way connection.
