Hey Kevin, great question! The Redarc Tow-Pro Link # RED57AR SwayStop works with the simple push of a button. All you have to do is press the manual override (SwayStop button in the picture below) once and it will kick in to get your trailer sway under control.

The Link has a 6-axis accelerometer so once you press the button the brake controller will sense the vehicle sway at the rear and apply the brakes accordingly until it stops.

What kind of setup do you have?

Hey thanks for the info! Just to be clear, I can use this by plugging it in behind my 7-way? It fits a USCAR connector?

Hey Andrew. The Redarc Tow-Pro link will indeed work just fine for your 2026 Toyota BZ, and due to it not needing a brake output wire you do not need to hook up the brake out put wire at all. You'll plug the USCAR pig tail #20147 into the Tow-Pro…
