Your 2009 Toyota Venza does not come with factory brake controller wiring so you'd have to hardwire in the controller.
You will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # 118482.
From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7. I attached installation instructions and an install video for this product as... view full answer...
The Curt trailer wiring kit part # C57ER that you referenced that fits your 2022 Toyota Venza does not relocate the sensor for the hands free liftgate of your vehicle. We do not offer kits like this for any vehicles but with a hitch installed on your vehicle like the Curt # C89UR you'd just need to kick to either side of the hitch to activate the liftgate. view full answer...
Any time you use a bike rack or a hitch mounted carrier you will want to use a support strap like the Curt Stabilizer Strap # 18050, failure to do so could cause damage to the hitch and would void the warranty for the hitch also. The strap will provide extra support for the hitch and will help to reduce the amount of vertical shock that the bike rack would put on the hitch when going over bumps.
Check out the video I attached that shows how the strap would attach from a typical bike rack... view full answer...
Once the Curt hitch part # C89UR is installed on your 2021 Toyota Venza the hands free liftgate will still function but the area will be reduced where it would function where you would kick your foot.
What that means is that you'd have to kick to either side of the hitch. Once we have opportunity to install the hitch I am sure we'll verify this as well. view full answer...
We can easily help with trailer wiring that fits your 2021 Toyota Venza to control the trailer lighting and brakes but you have to install a 4-way first like with the custom fit # C57ER, convert it to a 7-way with an adapter so that you can then wire in a brake controller.
For a brake controller I really like the Curt Echo Mobile part # C51180 which once plugged into an active 7-way and synced to a smart phone is ready to tow with. So then for a 7-way adapter you'd just need the # ETBC7L... view full answer...
You will have no problems transporting your Trek Verve +3 Lowstep on the Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount, part # Y36FR. You will be able to clamp either the frame or seat post of this e-bike. As long as your 2021 Toyota Venza has a 2" trailer hitch, you will be fine.

Yes, the spacer blocks are included in the hardware that comes with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver, # 13356, for the 2011 Toyota Venza. I have attached a picture of the installation hardware for you. view full answer...
Yes, the Hopkins Backup Sensor System item # HM60100VA, can be mounted upside down. However, if your rear bumper protrudes out below the license plate, then the backup sensor will not be able to pickup items that are low to the ground. The sensor might then need to be adjusted upward, creating a larger blind spot, to keep it from sensing the bumper. You will also be exposing the sensors to more weather and road debris in the lower position.
You will want to have the sensors pointed in... view full answer...
I looked at your owners manual and your 2010 Venza is not designed to carry a lot of weight. Your hitch may be rated for 350 lbs tongue weight and 3500 lbs towing capacities, but your vehicle is designed primarily as a passenger vehicle. It definitely sounds like you are overloading your vehicle capacity even if the hitch and carrier can hold it, your vehicle cannot.
I definitely do not recommend using this combination if your vehicle sags to 3 inches off the ground. Riser kits would... view full answer...
I'm guessing where you grounded the Curt # C56079 isn't sufficient. It could be grounded well enough to light up your test light, especially if it's an LED tester, but not enough for the actual trailer lights. I'd start by moving the ground location to something more secure than the exhaust like the vehicle frame. Making sure the location is clean and bare metal as well. view full answer...
That is an excellent question and one that I am sure many people have regarding their tie-down straps. Quite often people buy tie-down straps and use them maybe a handful of times throughout the year. If something goes wrong and they need to replace, or in your case clean, the straps, it can be tricky trying to reassemble them. Especially since there are many different methods.
I had some of these straps in stock so I pulled a set and made a video for you. Unfortunately Boat Buckle does... view full answer...
The power wire on the Tow Ready Trailer Wiring Harness, # 118482, for the 2011 Toyota Venza, has only been tested and approved for attachment to the vehicle battery. The wiring harness is rated for the following:
Max. stop/turn light: 1 per side (2.1 amps)
Max. tail lights: (5.6 amps)

The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # DT46MR for a 2021 Toyota Venza has a hidden design which means the crosstube is concealed behind the bumper and cannot be seen from outside the vehicle. It does require the muffler be lowered, not removed but most hitches do require lowering of the exhaust. view full answer...
The Curt trailer wiring harness # C56079 does require a direct connection to the vehicle battery. This is what will power the trailer lights. It is designed this way to protect the sensitive wiring on the vehicle from any shorts that could end up damaging the vehicle wiring and/or electrical components.
The connection has to be made at the battery and not any other location because the harnesses have not been tested for use from an alternate power source. While there is power that runs... view full answer...
Yes, the installation process for wiring harness # 118482 (or either of the other options shown on the linked page) in your 2009 Toyota Venza will be essentially identical to that shown in the video for a 2011 model year. Both are part of the same vehicle generation. A helpful article is linked for you. view full answer...
In order to utilize trailer brakes with your 2009 Toyota Venza there are a few things you would need. To start you'd want to install the 4-pole that you mentioned, the T-One Harness # 118482, if your Venza did not already have a 4-flat. The next thing you'd need would the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7; this kit has the wiring and hardware needed to use a brake controller and 7-way connector, including a 4-pole to 7-pole adapter.

You do need to run the wire up front and connect to the battery. There is not a suitable power source at the rear.
You can run the wire underneath the carpet and trim moldings up to the firewall then into the engine bay, but this does require removing and re-installing a lot of interior trim pieces.
The most conventional way to to this is to run the power wire along the vehicle frame and up into the engine bay. Make sure to avoid hot exhaust components or moving parts that can pinch... view full answer...
The K-Source Replacement Side Mirror # KS70639T that you referenced does not have a light on the bottom of the mirror housing. Some refer to that type of light as a "puddle light". view full answer...
When installing the Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack with aero crossbars using parts # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK114, the clamps will secure the locking legs/rack system to the roof of your 2012 Toyota Venza (see included video). The clamps mount to the roof-rack legs with theft-deterrent bolts. A special tool (included) is needed to tighten the bolts. Tightening the bolts secures the vehicle-specific clamps to the legs and the legs to your vehicle's roof. It's that simple!

To install the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 brake controller, part # 90195 on your 2011 Toyota Venza, you will need to hard wire using brake controller 7 a 4-Way installation kit, part # ETBC7. The power for the brake controller will come directly from the vehicle battery. The Prodigy P-3 will go into a sleep mode after several minutes of no activity. The power draw while in this sleep mode is so small that it is not enough to discharge your battery.
