Expert Answers about Toyota Tundra


  • What is Needed to Install LED Clearance Lights on a 2006 Toyota Tundra with a Flatbed
  • While we do not sell an aftermarket pigtail that would allow you to simply plug into your current tail light assembly you could use a circuit tester to identify the circuits of your tail light assembly and then wire the Optronics Clearance Light # STL23CCRB to the correct circuits. For a circuit tester you could use our part # PTW2993. The harness you would need with this light would be the Pigtail Harness # A47PB. From that harness you would run the white wire to ground, red to turn signal/brake...

  • Blue Light Displays on Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Brake Controller # 90885 After Power Is Turned Off
  • The Tekonsha Prodigy Brake Controller, part # 90885, has blue LED lights that will stay on after the vehicle is turned off, but should turn off after 15 minutes of inactivity. It will enter its power-saving mode which engages after the brake controller does not sense motion or activity for 15 minutes. However, the power it is using should only be a few milliamps. If your brake controller is drawing more power than this or is not entering power saving mode, it could be a couple of different...

  • How Wide Should Tracks Be Installed on Truck Topper for Roof Rack
  • Where you install the tracks on your Rhino Rack Heavy-Duty Bar Roof Rack # Y01-130B depends on the width of the bars that you're using in most cases, but you'll also want to make sure that the tracks are able to sit flat on the topper. The bars that come with the # Y01-130B are 59" long, and you'll want to make sure the bars overhang on each side the same distance. I've linked the instructions for installation, but there are not specific instructions for your Leer XR100 topper; you may...

  • Installing Hopkins Tow Package Wiring Kit # HM11143395 on 2008 Toyota Tundra
  • The Hopkins Tow Package Wiring you referenced, part # HM11143395 will plug into the trailer wiring connectors located under and behind the rear bumper. The connectors are usually found over toward the drivers side frame member. If the controller is already installed using a wiring adapter like # 3040-P, you should be all set to go. Make sure that the extra ground wire on the adapter is securely attached to a factory grounding point under the dash. You can see an install video showing...

  • Does Fifth Wheel Trailer Wiring Adapter for 2007 Toyota Tundra Require Tee Connectors to Install
  • To install the Tow Ready 90-Degree Fifth Wheel Adapter Wiring Harness # 54700-004 tee connectors are not needed. What you will end up doing is unplugging the factory 7-way and then installing this product inline with the factory wiring. Basically the connectors of this adapter are the tee connectors if you want to think about it like that.

  • Brake Controller Installation on 2015 Toyota Tundra
  • All models of the 2015 Toyota Tundra will have the brake controller connector located behind the panel just to the right of the ignition as shown in the provided video. For a Tekonsha brake controller, use the # 3031-P wiring harness. If you don't yet have a brake controller, I'd recommend the Tekonsha Primus, part # TK90160. The Primus is a proportional controller that will provide smooth, safe and predictable braking. A proportional controller will sense how quickly the tow vehicle...

  • Installing a Brake Controller on 2005 Toyota Tundra
  • The factory installed brake controller connector should be a white plug located on the left side under the drivers side dash on your 2005 Toyota Tundra Dual Cab. I have included a photo and a video that shows the location of the plug on another Toyota Tundra at the 8 second mark. This plug may not be there if your vehicle did not come with the factory tow package. The Multi-Plug, # 20137, is designed as a replacement if your vehicle came with a factory tow package that included the harness...

  • The brake controller port for the 2015 Toyota Tundra is located behind the section of the dashboard with the tow/haul button.

Using a trim panel puller, carefully pry the panel out and undo the locking tabs to remove the panel. You will find the mating connector behind this portion of your dashboard.

  • Location of Trailer Brake Controller Port on 2004 Toyota Tundra
  • Your 2004 Toyota Tundra will have an under-dash connection port for a brake controller, such as the Tekonsha P2 # 90885, if it came from the factory equipped with a 7-way trailer socket at the back bumper. Not all Tundras were so equipped. The photo I have linked for you shows the appearance of the Tekonsha harness # 3040-P connector that would plug into the under-dash port if it is present. Some times vehicle wiring may be tucked out of the way or taped to other items under the dash....

  • Installation Instructions for the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution # BXW1000
  • Since the instructions for the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution # BXW1000 state that any air-ride shock absorbers, air springs, or automatic leveling systems need to be disabled or deflated to the manufacturer's minimum recommended pressure prior to installing the system, you will need to leave it in that state while using the Blue Ox system. If you were to inflate them after installing the WD system then they would be working against each other. If you would rather retain the use of...

  • Installing an Electric Trailer Brake Controller from Scratch on a 2002 Toyota Tundra
  • I checked with the brake controller and wiring harness manufacturers we carry and they do not have a 7-Way wiring harness or brake controller harness for the 2002 Toyota Tundra. All of the parts they have listed start with the 2003 model year. In this case, you will need to install the 4 and 7 Way Installation Kit, # ETBC7, for the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Brake Controller, # 90885. Installation is not too difficult, especially if you have experience with automotive projects and electrical...

  • Installing Rear View Safety SimpleSight Wireless Backup Camera # RVS-355W
  • The Rear View Safety SimpleSight Wireless Backup Camera System # RVS-355W that you referenced does use a wireless camera in terms of its connection to the monitor. The wiring included is just needed to power the monitor (DC12-24V) and camera (DC 12V). The infrared LED lights on the camera will always be on when the camera is powered. How the camera turns on and off will depend on how you connect its wiring. If you are just wanting to use this system as a backup camera, then you will...

  • The Timbren Springs for your 2012 Toyota Tundra Crew Max 4x4 like # TABSOSR all install to the spring stack at the rear and not to the frame. The front mounted springs # TABSTOF do however mount to the frame. All of the rear suspension enhancement options from all our manufacturers mount to the leaf spring stack on your specific truck.

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Brake Controller Wiring Adapter Installation for 2007 Toyota Tundra SR5
  • The adapter plug that you received, the # 3040-P is the correct adapter. This will plug directly into the back of your Tekonsha Primus IQ # TK90160 and the plug on your vehicle that is located on the driver's side kick panel near the emergency brake- so there isn't going to be another plug you need. I'll also add that the colors of the wires is not going to be significant in this case, since auto manufacturers don't use a standardized color code for vehicle wiring. The photos you've provided...

  • Can the Yakima Tracks for Roof Racks Be Trimmed
  • I can't see why you wouldn't be able to cut the Yakima 54" Tracks for Roof Racks # Y26RR if need be. As long as you're able to cut it cleanly to where the end cap would fit back in place as it was before, you'll be good to go. We also have shorter tracks, # Y01126, which are 42" long which might be better suited for you.

  • Brake Controller and Installation for 2015 Toyota Tundra
  • All the 2015 Tundras were equipped with the 7-way trailer connector, or at least the provision of a socket under the truck that would allow a connector like # HM40975 to plug in. You may need fuses and relays to install in the fuse box under the hood to activate everything. The online owner's manual copy I looked at doesn't include a fuse diagram, so you might need to remove the cover of the fuse box and examine the legend there to determine which fuses protect the towing circuits and install...
