Brake Controller for 2026 Toyota 4Runner TRD

Question

Question:

I just bought a new 2026 Toyota 4 runner TRD OFf road with a trailering package. I need a trailer brake controller. My VIN is JTEVA5BR7T5147110. I had a READRC on my previous 2021 4 runner and it worked fine. I know these may have changed a bit in 2025 and 2026, but I want to make sure I am buying the right controller and harness that can plug and play on my vehicle. I haul a travel trailer and really need a good controller. Thanks!

Hey Chauncey! The Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty # RED98CR is going to be the best option for your 2026 Toyota 4Runner TRD Off Road. Your 4Runner is prewired for a brake controller, and this comes with the custom wiring harness that matches your factory tow port.

What kind of travel trailer are you towing?

@ChaunceyB thanks for the info! The Tow-Pro Liberty will be a great fit for your Hideout and give you plenty of braking control for that setup. Safe travels!

@RobinH I have purchased the Tow pro Elite directly from REDARC, and it does come with the wiring, and it is a higher model so I assume it will work well for me, would you still think it is a good choice? Thanks Chauncey

@Chauncey the manual off-road mode you gain isn't of much value, or necessary, for most people. I would say it isn't worth the additional cost unless you're going to be taking your Hideout off-road with you, and I'm guessing you aren't.

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.…
