Since you have no brake controller port on your T100 truck you will need to hardwire the brake controller. Your truck has separate wiring so you can use a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 to find a wire that shows power only when the brake pedal is pressed. Many times, the wires are run along the driver side under the door threshold.
The brake controller I recommend is the Prodigy P2, part # 90885. This is our most popular because it is easy to install and operate. There are 4 wires... view full answer...
The correct replacement installation hardware and bracket kit for your Reese 10 bolt rails is the part # RP30439. This kit is intended for the Universal Base Rails # RP30035.
With this in mind, the Reese Universal Base Rail - 10 Bolt Kit is actually not confirmed to fit your 1995 Toyota T100. For 5th Wheel Base Rails that are confirmed to fit, I instead recommend looking at the Demco Rails # DM8552009-71. This kit will include the base rails, brackets and all the hardware needed for installation.... view full answer...
The brake controller I recommend for your 1996 Toyota T100 SR5 pickup truck is the Prodigy P3 # 90195. It has a customizable LCD display, several boost settings, storable settings and the ability to transfer between vehicles if you so desire. Also, The intensity with which your trailer brakes are activated and the rate at which they are applied are dependent on the deceleration of your 1996 Toyota T100 pickup.
Since you don't have a 7-way plug at the back of your vehicle, I recommend installation... view full answer...
You correctly identified the trailer brake controller installation kit you'll need for your 1996 Toyota T100 pickup, our part # ETBC7. Along with this you'll need a 4-pole wiring harness like TowReady # 118496 unless your truck already has a working 4-pole. The actual brake controller installation will be a hard-wired type in your truck.
I have linked at right both articles and a video showing the # ETBC7 brake controller installation kit.
We recommend a proportional-type brake controller,... view full answer...
You can only extend mirrors out so far before they become a hazard. In this case the best solution would be a camera system. We have several camera systems available but I recommend the Swift Hitch, # 04928. The camera has a magnetic base or it can me attached with screws. It turns on by pushing the button on the camera so you do not have to have it wired into the trailer or vehicle wiring. It even has night vision.
The battery life on this model is 4 hours before it will need a recharge.... view full answer...
You will need to test the wires on your 1997 Toyota T100 to determine the functions since they are not the common wire colors we are familiar with for Toyota brake controller wiring harnesses.
Use a circuit tester such as # 3808 to test the wires. The wire that has constant 12 volt power will connect to the controller black wire. The wire that only has power when you step on the brake pedal will connect to the controller red wire.
The last 2 connections are tricky. To determine which... view full answer...
To use E-track on your aluminum framed, wood-floored trailer I would recommend using the backing plate part # BPEZ. This will mount underneath the wood and then would give the E-track like part # E19148 (5 foot section) a secure attachment. view full answer...
The best hitch recommendation I could make for your 1994 Winnebago on a T100 Toyota chassis would be a multi-fit hitch like the # 13703. As long as your frame is between 22 and 72 inches in width you should be able to install this hitch. This hitch can be welded or bolted on for installation.
You would want to check out the install video and instructions I attached to see how it would install and compare it to your setup.
You would not be able to carry a motorcycle carrier with this hitch... view full answer...
A trailer hitch that is 34 inches from left to right was intended for the narrower framed cab and chassis vehicles and would not fit your 1998 Toyota T100. Instead you'd want the Draw Tite hitch part # 75144 which is a confirmed fit and will work great. view full answer...
I went out to our warehouse to take some measurements of the Curt Solid Steel Hitch Bar # C49524 with a digital caliper.
I measured a wall thickness of 0.162 inches and an outer dimension on the tube of 1.58 inches. Keep in mind that minor manufacturing variances means that a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening is rarely ever exactly 1-1/4 inches. You can be confident though that it will work perfectly with any 1-1/4 inch hitch-mounted accessory. view full answer...
Yes you can use the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 5-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # C56513 to use as the basis for your 7 pole connector. Once this is installed I recommend cutting the connector off and using heat shrink butt connectors like part # DW05744-10 to connect to the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller - 7-Way RV and 4-Way Flat - 10 Gauge Wires part # ETBC7. This simply eliminates a connection that could eventually fail. At that point just... view full answer...
I talked to my contact at Reese and he said that most likely the problem is the direction the pull pins on your Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch with Square Tube Slider - 16,000 lbs, part # RP30051, are installed. He said to check and make sure that the clip on the pull pins are on the outside of the rails, and that if they are installed with the clips on the inside of the rails, that will cause the slider to stop operating.
He also said to check the rails for any debris that might be obstructing... view full answer...
The # 33355 trailer wiring harness you purchased receives its ground connection from its connection to the vehicle, it doesn't need a separate ground connection. The easiest way to test the harness would be to try plugging another trailer into the vehicle, then try another vehicle with the trailer. This will immediately tell you where the problem lies. If this isn't possible, I'll walk you through some troubleshooting strategies.

For your 1996 Toyota T-100 Extra Cab w/ camper shell, you could use a truck bed bike rack like the Thule Insta-Gater Pro # TH93VR. Or the other option would be to use a hitch mounted bike rack.
To use a hitch mounted bike rack, you would first need to install the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, part # 75144. This is a Class III 2 inch hitch, and is compatible with a wide range of hitch bike racks. view full answer...
The recommended taillight converter for the 1998 Toyota T100 pickup is the Tekonsha # 118496. The wiring harness plugs inline at the connection between the taillight assembly and the factory wiring harness, so it's a plug and play installation that's pretty simple with no cutting or splicing required.
Once that's installed, you can covert to a 7-way by adding # 37185 or # ETBC7 if you're wanting to install a brake controller like the Tekonsha Primus, part # TK90160. view full answer...
It is possible to install a brake controller on your 1998 Toyota T100 pickup, but there are no custom fit wiring adapters available for that truck. The plug you found under the dash is probably not for a brake controller, but you could test the pins for power to be sure. One pin should have constant 12 volt power and one pin should only have power when the brake pedal is pressed. The other two pins should not have power at all. From the information we have, a brake controller must be hardwired... view full answer...
It looks like you are following the instructions for the Tacoma which are different than those for the 1996 T100. On the T100 the tail light connectors you are looking for are under the truck near the end of the frame, both sides. view full answer...
You will need to connect the green wire to the right taillight in order to have both a signal and a complete circuit. Otherwise you will experience the problem you are having.
Usually the yellow wire is left turn and stop (on a two wire system) and the green wire is right turn and stop when using a wiring harness like the Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring, # 118496, which is the custom fit for your 1998 Toyota T-100. But this type of system just plugs in line with your vehicles taillights.

The fan # FV801208 should run at full capacity at 2.1 amps which equates to 25 watt on a 12V DC system. The # PP01 may minimize that amperage since it appears to limit you, I recommend the Power Converter for Fan-Tastic Vent Endless Breeze Portable Box Fan # FV1101-09 which will allow you up to 5.8 amps for a fully functioning fan. view full answer...
The Carr C-Profile Rota Light Mounting Bar part # CARR210111 is confirmed to fit your 1997 Toyota T100 and will work well with a curved 50" light bar. A 50" light bar is the maximum length that can BE installed using this roof mount.
For a curved 50" light bar compatible with this bracket I recommend using the Putco High Power Luminix Curved Off-Road Light Bar part # P10055. As a curved light bar is much more expensive than a straight light bar. A more cost effective solution for you... view full answer...
