I went with pretty much a plain Jane topper from ARE but with an extended top. I can throw an air mattress in the back and have plenty of head room. I can also put three bikes in there standing up with the wheels on. Maybe four. There are options for power locks, side window that open and lots more.

I think that Toyota used to use the same wiring harness for all trucks that included the plug for the brake controller. Either they wanted to discourage aftermarket controllers or the price of copper made it economical to have two separate harnesses for with and without the factory brake...

I photo of where you found that brake signal wire might be helpful to others.

For J7 I assume you mean the wire from the 7 pin plug that powers the brakes on your trailer. It runs from the plug to under the rear seat on the passenger side. (the heavy blue wire). You can run a wire along the harness that is beneath the trim at the door openings either on the left or right.

I'm not an electronics expert but I believe it would be called a zener diode, the most common kind. I used a 20A - 50V but your 15a / 45V should be fine. You want power to be able to flow from the truck to the brake light and controller but not from the controller to the truck.

Assuming the dealer has a good wiring diagram that same wire has to be under the dash somewhere and would be much easier the tap into there. Just be sure to use a diode to prevent back-feed from the controller.

That bed liner looks to be identical to the TripleAliners Truck Bed Mat I got on Amazon for $117.

The 2024 wiring is completely different. The easy plug under the dash is no longer there. I suspect it is because of the all led lighting and all the other bells and whistles like adaptive cruise control. I went back and forth with Redarc when trying to install mine. They were not aware of the...

Haha, that's not a spray in bed liner. I thought the same about mine at first. The entire bed is a composite. (fiberglass filled nylon or something of the sort) Take a look underneath and you can see. I haven't decided if that's a plus or minus but it's light weight and will never rust. You'll...

It seems the signal wire could be traced to up front somewhere and eliminate the need to cut into the harness.

Thanks for the write up and all the time and research that went into figuring it out. I just completed installing my TowPro controller and came up with a few ways to save some cost and simplify the installation. Take a look at the attached document and perhaps you might want to update yours...
