Brake Controller Recommendation for 2018 Nissan Frontier SV with Factory 7-Way
Published 08/20/2024 >
Question:
Hello Charles, I have a 2018 Nissan Frontier SV with the tow package. I have a 7 pin connection and I bought a trailer that has electric brakes. I do not have a brake controller built in to my truck. Would I be able to use the electric brakes on my trailer if I added a brake controller and adapter? Thank you. Joe S.

Hey Joe, with the install of a brake controller in your 2018 Nissan Frontier that has a 7-way you would be able to control the trailer brakes. For that I would recommend the Redarc Tow Pro Liberty with Custom Install Harness part # RED53CR which gives you a super nice brake controller that would only put a small knob on the dash of the vehicle.
