The Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller part # C51180 will still work great even in rural areas with poor service. It doesn't actually use cellular data or WI-FI at all for function. It simply uses Bluetooth to receive and send signals between the mobile device and control unit so it won't be hampered in areas with poor signal. It does require an active data connection to install the app but then it would work great even when the phone is completely offline. If you somehow forgot... view full answer...
A transmission cooler mounted out in front of the radiator would impede the air flow in a small amount but what we've found is that at higher speeds like that there's enough air flowing through the coolers that the effect is very minimal and nearly all the time not noticeable. view full answer...
The Flex-a-lite Adjustable Temperature Controller for Electric Fan part # FLX31147 as you mentioned will need to be powered via a keyed circuit which is one that only receives power while the vehicle is running. That said, I don't have specific circuits to use for any one particular vehicle but one of the more common keyed circuits on a vehicle is the radio circuit so if this is present that is what I recommend using.
Please note, you could opt to control the fan manually which then means... view full answer...
The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # C56349 will not draw power from the vehicle without a trailer plugged in on a 2022 Toyota Tacoma. In other words, it won't drain the battery while the vehicle is off without trailer plugged-in. view full answer...
Trailer wiring should not cause hyperflashing on vehicle taillights. It would be related to the LED taillights you installed on your trailer. Most likely the resistors on the new lights aren't the correct value. You can test this by going back to the standard taillights and leaving the trailer wiring installed. view full answer...
According to my research, the brake switch wire on a 2003 Toyota Tacoma should be green with a white tracer, but I would recommend testing to verify this is correct for your vehicle. Start at the brake pedal on the vehicle and test the wires running from it with a light tester like part # PTW2993. You will need to connect the red wire from the pigtail included with the Tekonsha P-3 brake controller # 90195 to the wire that shows power when you press the pedal but goes cold when you release... view full answer...

Tekonsha brake controller wiring harness # 3040-P does indeed plug into the back of the P3 brake controller # 90195. If your 2009 Toyota Tacoma came with a factory installed 7-Way trailer connector then the plug for the brake controller will be present on the truck.
If it did not come with a factory 7-Way then the plug may not be there or if it is it may not be fully functional.
If the connector is present and functional then you would not have to hardwire anything to install a brake... view full answer...
Since your trailer is aluminum, I would contact the manufacturer to see if adding a weight distribution will damage the aluminum A-frame.
To choose a weight distribution system you need to go by the total tongue weight of the set up. This is calculated by taking the tongue weight of the trailer, when loaded and ready to tow, and adding to that the weight of anything loaded behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle.

In order to install the Curt Spectrum Trailer Brake Controller part # C51170 on a 2019 Toyota Tacoma on a you'll need to use the Curt Custom Wiring Adapter for Trailer Brake Controllers part # C51455. The plug that this adapter harness will attach to will be rectangular in shape with four pins inside.
In regards to hardwiring, it for one does not sound like you have the correct plug but that said you'd need to test the pins anyhow as I wouldn't have any sort of pin out diagram to go off of. view full answer...
The factory harness to plug in a brake controller wiring harness on your 2007 Toyota Tacoma is located underneath and left of the steering column, taped to another harness near the emergency brake pedal. There will be a 5-pin connector that mates with the one on the adapter, # 3040-P. The harness does include an additional ground (white) wire that will need to be attached to a bare metal surface.
The P2 is a proportional controller that applies the trailer brakes in proportion to how much... view full answer...

Once the 10mm bolt was removed from the frame of the 2021 Toyota Tacoma, we put the terminal end of the ground wire of the Plug-and-Play Wiring Harness for Redarc Tow-Pro Trailer Brake Controllers # RED99FR and reinstalled the bolt. You will then plug the # RED99FR into the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller - 1 to 3 Axles - Proportional # RED44FR to finish the wiring.
At the 4:35 minute mark of the included video you can see the bolt, and I have included a picture... view full answer...
The 2001 Toyota Tacoma does not have a port or harness to plug in a brake controller. Instead, the brake controller will need to be hardwired using a 4- and 7-Way Installation Kit, # ETBC7. If the truck does not have a 4-Way trailer connector already, you will first need to add one using T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness, # 118379. I have included links to the installation details and a video showing installation on a 2000 model for reference.
To install the ETBC7, you will first plug in the... view full answer...
For your 1997 Toyota Tacoma, the cold side of the brake light switch is a green wire with white tracer based on my research. This is what you will connect the red wire of the # TK90160 to. You can see this install will be similar to the 2003 Tacoma at the 18:30 mark. view full answer...
The Pewag Snox Pro Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - Square Link - 1 Pair # PWSXV590 do not have a specified time they can be left on a tire. The chains are made of nickel manganese alloy steel so they are very strong and durable while also being corrosion resistant.
I wouldn't hesitate for a second to leave them on overnight or even for 3 days as long as you won't be traveling over 25-30 mph that entire time as specified with the chain manufacturer. I would remove... view full answer...
