Expert Answers about Toyota Sequoia


  • Using Adapter # C57674 to Tow 7-Way-Equipped Camper Trailer with 4-way-Equipped Vehicle
  • The 2004 Toyota Sequoia has a rated towing capacity of either 6200-lbs or 6500-lbs depending on the version, so you should be fine in terms of towing capacity for your Shamrock 19-foot pop up which weighs either 3524-lbs (model 19) or 4432-lbs (model 19L). You will also need to verify that your 2-inch hitch receiver is rated adequately for your trailer load; there should be a safety/warning sticker on it to indicate its capacity. The Curt Trailer Connector Adapter # C57674 that you referenced...

  • Installing Hopkins Smart Hitch Backup Camera and Hitch Aligner # HM50002 in 2011 Toyota Sequoia
  • The Hopkins Smart Hitch Backup Camera and Hitch Aligner System # HM50002 is not vehicle-specific; it can be installed in a wide range of vehicles. The install process will be essentially the same for any vehicle and for reference I have linked you to a video showing installation in a 2010 Nissan Titan. Details for this vehicle may vary from your application but the overall process will be identical. You will simply need to unplug the round wiring harness connector from the back of the...

  • Thinner Style of Hitch Pin Lock that Doesn't Use Key to Thread On and Off Pin
  • Installing and removing the etrailer hitch reciever lock part # e98881 does require that you use the key to screw it on and unscrew it. In this thin style of hitch lock there are mostley only options that require using the key to screw and unscrew the lock like the USA made InfiniteRule Hitch Lock part # 34061072-D. We do have the Fastway part # FA86-00-3160 that is the style you like that doesn't require the screwing on and off but it is not made in the USA.

  • How Should Polypropylene Trailer Vent # HMAV2-AVT2 Be Installed and Will it Keep Out Water
  • The short answer is nothing prevents water from going into vent # HMAV2-AVT2. If you have the opening facing down some water may trickle in at higher speeds but it would not be like a continuous misty spray. I believe that the way you want to install these vents would work well, especially considering that you will also be adding a roof vent. While I have not personally seen anyone install these vents in this manner, there really is no right or wrong way to install them and your way is...

  • Difference Between Titan Chains TC2327 and TC2533 for P275/55-R20
  • Since tire chain fits are pretty specific and there's such a wide range of tire sizes there ends up being a bit of overlap for some sets of chains. This is the case for the two Titan chains you mentioned of # TC2327 and # TC2533 mostly but there also is a link thickness difference. The # TC2533 has a link thickness of 5.5 mm and the # TC2327 has a thickness of 3.7 mm. They will both fit equally as well and neither would have more rim protection than the other.

  • Trailer Brake Controller Installation on 2002 Toyota Sequoia
  • You will not need to tap into any brake lines on your Sequoia. How you'll proceed will depend on whether the trailer has brakes and which trailer connector it has. I'll assume the trailer has electric brakes and is equipped with a 7-way trailer connector which is what's typically found on a trailer with brakes. If your trailer has electric brakes, and you want them to actuate, you'll need to install a brake controller. I'd recommend a proportional controller like the Tekonsha Prodigy P2,...

  • Location of Electric Trailer Brake Controller Connector on 2013 Toyota Sequoia
  • From our experience the brake controller connector on a Toyota Sequoia is pretty tucked away. It's in a similar location as to the Tundra video you watched but harder to find. Take a look at the video I linked of the 2008 Sequoia, it's the same generation as your 2013. The connector is behind the driver's side kick panel next to the emergency brake pedal but it's tucked pretty high up behind a bundle of wires that are all taped up.

  • Brake Controller Wiring on a 2001 Toyota Sequoia
  • To install a Prodigy P2, # 90885 on your 2001 Toyota Sequoia, in addition to the brake controller you'll need a functional 4-pole trailer connector # C59496 and the Brake Controller Installation Kit, part # ETBC7. I've linked you to a video showing a controller being installed on a 2002 Toyota Tundra, the procedure on your Sequoia would be very similar. I've also linked to instructions for the install kit and some FAQ articles that you might find helpful.

  • Is CIPA Custom Towing Mirror, # CM11301 for a 2008 Toyota Sequoia Removable
  • Yes, the CIPA Custom Towing Mirror, # CM11301, is removable for times when you are not towing. If you look at the last picture on the product page, you will see a soft protective strip, a molded plastic piece, and a knob. The strip protects the vehicle factory mirror and the molded plastic piece sits on that, on the inside of the towing mirror housing. The knob screws in through the back and as you tighten it, it applies pressure to the molded plastic, holding the entire mirror tight...

  • Purpose of Separate Ground Lead on Tekonsha Wiring Adapter # 3040-P for 2005 Toyota Sequoia
  • According to one of our contacts at Tekonsha, the Tekonsha Wiring Adapter, part # 3040-P, for the 2005 Toyota Sequoia, does utilize the ground connection in the factory plug under the dash, but Toyota used a very small gauge wire in the plug. In order to ensure a proper ground connection and reliable brake operation, a separate ground lead is used as well. The brake controller harness on your 2005 Toyota Sequoia can be accessed by removing the kick plate near your emergency brake. The...

  • Trouble Locating Factory Plug for Prodigy Brake Controller on a 2008 Toyota Sequoia
  • If your 2008 Toyota Sequoia has a 7-Way trailer wiring connector at the back from the factory then yes, there should be a plug behind the driver's side kick panel that you will connect the Adapter # 3040-P to for the Prodigy P2 # 90885 (which replaced the 90185 in the video you watched). If you're having trouble finding the plug you aren't alone. Some people have found it hidden behind other wires or tucked really far up into the dash so you may need to dig around a little before you find...

  • Which Plug and Play Brake Controller Adapter for 2020 Toyota Sequoia TRD Pro
  • You don't NEED a plug and play adapter to install the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 in your 2020 Toyota SequoiaTRD Pro but it certainly makes it easier and eliminates the need to cut off or splice into factory wires. You'll want to use the # 3040-P to plug into the factory brake controller plug in under the dash and install the P3 without any splicing necessary. I've linked a video of the installation in a similar Sequoia; the year isn't the same but the process will be the same so you...

  • Can Shank of Reese Steadi-Flex Weight Distribution Hitch Be Used in the Rise Position
  • The shank included with the Reese # RP66559 Steadi-Flex weight distribution system can certainly be used in the rise position in order to get the trailer ball to the proper height. I've linked you to our help article about weight distribution systems. I hope you'll find it helpful.

  • Will The Edge Insight Read Transmission Temperature For A 2006 Toyota Sequoia
  • I reached out to Edge on your behalf. As long as your 2006 Toyota Sequoia has a transmission temperature sensor in the powertrain control module, the Edge Insight CS2 Comprehensive Gauge Display # EP84030 will be able to read the transmission temperature.

  • How to Access Vehicle Brake Light Signal for Trailer Brake Controller Installation
  • If your 2005 Toyota Sequoia has a factory-installed 7-way trailer connector you can install the Curt Discovery trailer brake controller # C84VV using only the mating wiring adapter part # C51362. If it does not then the installation will be hardwired. You can gain access to the vehicle brake light signal, which is what triggers the Discovery controller to generate output voltage for the trailer brakes, either by tapping into brake light wiring or by installing a fuse tap in the brake light...

  • Tekonsha Voyager Proportional Brake Controller Light on a 2005 Toyota Sequoia
  • With your Tekonsha Voyager Proportional Brake Controller, # 39510, there should not be a light illuminated when you are not connected to your trailer. The green LED on the top of your brake controller will illuminate when connected to a trailer to let you know that the trailer is connected and the brake controller is in use. I've attached a video that shows this.

  • Control Knob Mounting Plate for Toyota Sequoia to Allow Installation of Red Arc Tow Pro Elite
  • Yes, you can use the custom Mounting Panel for the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite, part # 331-TPSI-002, to install your brake controller # RED44FR in your Sequoia. This panel is shown installed in the photo I linked for you. Depending on the exact spot where you choose to install the control know you may not need the plate. You can refer to the linked video to see an installation.

  • Does Factory 7-Way of 2010 Toyota Sequoia Have Voltage for Activating Reverse Lockout Solenoid
  • The factory 7-way of your 2010 Toyota Sequoia should be already wired up to activate the reverse lockout solenoid of a surge brake trailer. What you can do is test the center pin of the 7-way for voltage when the vehicle is in reverse and someone holding their foot on the brake so it doesn't run you over. It should show 12 volts. That would be all that is needed for the reverse lockout. If not you need to run a wire from that center pin to the reverse light circuit of your vehicle.

  • Will the AirLift Helper Springs for Coil Springs Change Unloaded Ride Quality
  • Yes, the Air Lift 1000 Air Helper Springs for Coil Springs - Rear # AL60826 for your 2017 Toyota Sequoia will need to have a constant pressure of at least 5 psi at all times to avoid damaging the bags. When it comes to everyday driving, the ride quality won't change when the bags are inflated to the 5 psi minimum; however if they are inflated past the 5 psi you might experience a bit stiffer ride with less body roll since these are designed to help keep the coil springs from compressing...

  • Can I Use a Timbren Axle-Less System on a Boat Trailer That is Used in Salt Water
  • Yes. Timbren Axle-Less Suspension systems like the # ASR35HDS05 have a thick powder coating on them, so they could be used on a boat trailer that gets submersed into salt water and do just fine. The spindle uses # 15123 outer and # 25580 inner bearings and you'll want to use hubs with either a dacromet plating or a galvanized finish. The hubs I recommend would be the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 6,000-lb Axles - 12" Diameter - 6 on 5-1/2 - Galvanized # 8-201-51UC3 which would...
