  • Parts Required to Install Prodigy Trailer Brake Controller in 2015 Toyota Sienna
  • The Prodigy RF brake controller # TK94FR is not compatible with the electric-over-hydraulic trailer disc brake actuator that is installed on your trailer, however their excellent Prodigy P2 # 90885 will work fine with such trailer braking systems as it allows you to select this operation mode from its main menu screen. Since you already have a 4-pole harness to install this you will need only our # ETBC7 installation kit, which includes the 7-way and all wiring components required to completely...

  • Parts Needed to Install 7-Way Trailer Connector and Brake Controller in 2016 Toyota Sienna
  • You are correct that a 4-pole trailer wiring setup like # 118496 powers only lights and does not have the additional circuit needed for delivering brake power to engage electric trailer brakes. But we offer a complete conversion kit that allows you to upgrade your 4-pole to a 7-way and that is part # ETBC7. This kit does two things for you: it provides all the parts needed to convert your wiring to the 7-way, including the new connector, and it also allows you to complete the installation...

The hitch has a matte black powder coat finish that is over a protective base coat that offers a superior rust resistance.

  • Transmission Cooler Size for 2013 Toyota Sienna
  • When it comes to choosing a transmission cooler, you would ideally choose the largest cooler that will fit in the available space. Since the recommended spot to install the cooler is directly behind the grill in front of the radiator, you'll need to check that area and see how much room is available. The larger # FLX400117 17-row transmission cooler would provide much more surface area for cooling, so that's what I'd recommend if you have the necessary room (11 x 6 inches) for it. You...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch/Trailer Wiring For A 2022 Toyota Sienna
  • Though all the trailer hitches that we offer for your 2022 Toyota Sienna I recommend The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e56RR. I like the etrailer hitch over the others because the hitch has a matte black powder coating that will help conceal scratches and scuffs better than the other hitches that we offer. For the wiring harness I recommend The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # TK69FR. I like this harness because it has a more reliable converter box that will last longer than the other...

  • Recommended 7 Way Connector and Brake Controller for 2013 Toyota Sienna
  • I'll start by saying that you can tap into the 12v power wire running to the converter box on your 4 way wiring harness. In order to install a 7 way connector on your 2013 Toyota Sienna I recommend using the # ETBC7L for your 7 way, which is designed to be used with wireless brake controllers like the Curt Echo # C51180. This will eliminate some of the additional wiring that will be required and the Curt Echo can be controlled with any Andriod (4.4 or newer) or iOS smart phone (8.0 or newer)....

To make the job easier you can use The Hook Probe Circuit Tester Kit # PTW2993 this will help you locate the electrical short. I attached a few articles below that will...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution Hitch for 2900-lbs GVWR Trailer Pulled by 2011 Toyota Sienna
  • There are a couple of moving parts here and a lot of this will depend on whether or not you've got a 2" hitch on your 2011 Toyota Sienna. If you do have a 2" hitch, then you'll want to choose your weight distribution hitch based off of the tongue weight of your trailer; that number will typically fall between 10% and 15% of the GVWR of the trailer, so you're going to be in the 300-450lbs range in most cases. For that I recommend using the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control...

  • Which Weight Distribution Hitch for 2021 Little Guy Mini Max Towed by 2016 Toyota Sienna
  • When choosing the correct weight distribution system for your trailer, you'll want to consider what the fully loaded weight of the trailer will be; the tongue weight should be anywhere between 10% and 15% of that when loaded. For reference, the 240-lbs tongue weight is going to be the dry tongue weight of the trailer and will increase as full propane tanks, water and cargo are loaded. Since your trailer has a GVWR of 3500-lbs, you'll likely have a tongue weight when fully loaded of 350-lbs...

  • Suspension Solution for Low Ground Clearance from Hitch on 2018 Toyota Sienna
  • The popular Toyota Sienna and Honda Odyssey passenger vans share the trait of having a pretty low stance with not much ground clearance - even before you bolt on a hitch like the Draw-Tite # 76112. By the time you add the weight of passengers and a hitch-mounted cargo load you can end up with several inches less clearance. The solution to stiffen the van's rear suspension to reduce this sagging is an air bag kit # AL60732 from AirLift. This fits both 2WD and 4WD versions and installation...
