Brake Controller Recommendation for a 2011 Toyota FJ Cruiser with 4-Way Installed
Question:
I have a 2011 Toyota FJ Cruiser. Theres a CURT Manufacturing 55567 T-Connector on it right now. Im about to acquire a new trailer with electric brakes. Is the Adapter 4 Pole to 7 Pole and 4 Pole w/Test Lamps all that I need?

Expert Reply:
The Curt Wiring harness part # C55567 that you have in your 2011 Toyota FJ Cruiser will provide the trailer lighting functions, but to activate the trailer's brakes you will need a brake controller and the part # ETBC7 that comes with everything needed to wire up and install a brake controller plus convert the 4-way to a 7-way.
For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup.
