ok

so no receptacle for my trailer
no electronic brake conroller
other than my dealer who in the GTA installs these things?
is it a DIY job?
i notice in the wheel well there are electronics with plug in slots
is this a plug and play sort of deal or quite involved
any suggestions appreciated

thanks

i have the factory installed tow package
just need the electric brake control unit and 7 pin receptacle installed
my trailer weighs 3500 lbs and has electric brakes

For a 3500# trailer I would go with an electric brake controller like the Tekshona Prodigy. Works great.

I'm envious; maybe one of these days I'll swap my Tacoma for a V6 TDI. Just wish they make a pickup with it.
