The Redarc Encapsulated Power Diode #RED34FR shouldn't be needed for installing the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty #RED24FR and Pigtail #RED69FR on your 2020 Subaru Forester. The answer page you're referring to didn't have us telling someone to…

Hey Paul! Does your 2025 Toyota 4Runner have the factory tow package? If it does, there is a brake controller port you can use for plug and play installation. If you're using the Tekonsha POD #TK92UR you got before then you need the Tekonsha…
