I have that one too believe it or not. When I found out there was no plug in my Tacoma for it I was really really upset. But the wireless one is very similar. Pig tailing and extensive wiring are beyond my capabilities. Why there is no plug in 4th gen is baffling to me. I’m just a plug and play...

I installed Tekonsha wireless. Much better than the Kurt which I already had. Tekonsha more $$ but worth it because it’s not phone dependent like Kurt. There’s a separate hand held controller rather than using your phone as Kurt requires

Tekonsha Bluetooth wireless.

Those instructions are for a Tundra, not a Tacoma.

I have a 4000 lb travel trailer, loaded. I towed about 20 miles to get it prepped for summer. I put a weigh safe distribution hitch on. Towed fine but if I had it to do over, I'd look at the LIV trailer. Very lightweight but no skimp on size...

The 4th generation Tacomas do not have the plug in the harness for a brake controller. I do not know how to wire a brake system in; I can do a lot but not electrical. If you follow the thread on here from beginning, wiring is no easy feat. I bought a Prodigy bluetooth. I already had a...

That's not the point. Many of us had aftermarket controllers that plug into a harness. Many of us were told there was a plug for it. Many of us were lied to. Of course most people know that you can buy an aftermarket brake controller. I had to buy a new one that didn't require a harness...

Just ignore him. There are people in the world who project their own feelings of inferiority by trying to demean you. There was absolutely no need for him to do that. There are MULTIPLE posters on here who were mislead by a Toyota dealer. I did my homework also. I made sure it had the...

I think you're missing the point here. The dealers (from other posts on this thread) are telling customers that the brake controller plug is in the harness. If I had not been so foolish to have believed him, I would have made him show me. Then maybe I would have purchased one with the...

Yeah, not sure how you're supposed to "properly equip" a truck that can tow 6500 lbs if they don't provide a way to connect a trailer brake. I asked them if they would install one and they said no. I just bought the tekonsha wireless and it works fine. Maybe Sagebrush works for Toyota :crackup:

No I didn't.

I never said it was Toyota's fault. The dealer lied. He told me twice it was there.

Well I would have considered that too if they hadn't lied to me and said there was a brake controller plug in the harness that I could use for the brake controller I already owned.

I was furious too. The sales manager and Toyota HQ just ignored my inquiries about it. Sales manager promised "he'd look into it" and then zilch.

The 2024 doesn't have the plug included in the harness in the 2024 or 2025 tacoma for a brake controller. I just installed the tekonsha wireless controller yesterday. It's pricey but better than the Kurt wireless which you control with I phone. The tekonsha wireless has a handheld controller...

The thing that gets me the most is they don’t want you to use after market parts so they don’t make it easy to do so and on the other hand, they said they can’t/won’t install a trailer brake system. Why do they sell a truck with a towing pkg and the capability to tow 6800 lbs but offer no...

I have the curt plug in one. I didn’t like it because it’s controlled with a phone. I replaced with a tekonsha that plugged into my old car. The wireless one is very similar

I saw that they cut it. That’s not mandatory though right? I can zip tie slack? I’m a 67 yr old woman. I can do a lot of things like putting my truck cover on, installing side rails, operating my camper but I don’t think I can do electrical..maybe. I haven’t tried.

I’m actually on hold with Toyota headquarters as we speak because the Toyota sales manager, who promised to help me, is now ignoring my calls. I actually ordered that one and am so appreciative of the info I’ve found in this forum. This is why car salesman have such bad reputations.
