Can the Redarc Tow Pro Elite Be Installed on the 2021 Honda Ridgeline RTL

Question:

Hi, Im considering a Redarc controller for my 2021Honda Ridgeline RTL. Is there a Plug and Play harness available for it? If so, what is your part number? Thanks

I may have a solution for you, but currently there has not been a plug and play harness available to install a brake controller in a 2021 Honda Ridgeline RTL; I do know that the 2021 Pilot and Passport are still using the same brake controller plug in harness in the vehicle, but it has not been confirmed by any of our manufacturers whether or not this is the same on the Ridgeline. The normal plug and play adapter for the 2020 Ridgeline and the 2021 Pilot and Passport is the # RED59FR.

If you take a look at the brake controller plug that's under the dash board of your Ridgeline and determine that it is the same as the one in the photo, then you could use the # RED59FR adapter for this installation as well. This will be present on any Ridgeline that has a factory installed 7 way connector.

That said, you can hardwire the Redarc Tow Pro Elite # RED44FR into your 2021 Honda Ridgeline RTL using the included plug and it will work well for you. The Tow Pro Elite can be installed hidden away and only the controller knob will be visible, so it's a great option if you don't want an unsightly control box in your truck cab.

I've linked a demo video of the Tow Pro Elite controller for you to check out if you haven't already.
