Question:
Please tell me why a red42cr Redarc towpro elite tbc is $20+ less than a red94ur which fits my truck when the only difference is the first has an adapter harness that fits Toyota whereas the 2d has an adapter harness that fits Nissan. Thank you, Norm

Norm, thanks for hanging out! Along with one fitting different brands of trucks the Trail and Elite are also different. The Tow Pro Trail # RED94UR is designed to be used primarily off-road, specifically engineered and tested for off-road adventures.
The Tow-Pro Trail helps with challenging conditions like steep descents, mud, and sand, as well as providing smooth, safe braking for everyday hauling.
The Elite # RED42CR also has off-road capabilities, but I'd the Trail is going to be more what you'd need for serious off-roading.
If you have any other questions please feel free to drop a comment and let me know!

I guess I asked the wrong question; it should have been why is a Redarc Towpro Elite, with a harness for a Frontier, #Red75cr, $20 more than the same item, Red42cr, with a harness for a Tacoma? Thank you.
