Is Brake Controller Install Procedure for 2010 Toyota Rav 4 Same as 2011 Model
Question:
I saw your tutorial and video for connecting a brake controller to a 2011 Rav4 using the following parts: ETBC7 90885 18140 I have a 2010 RAV4 V6 and wanted to confirm these will work for my vehicle as well before purchasing. I am going to have my mechanic install everything but I need to provide the parts. Thanks for your help.

Helpful Expert Reply:
The 2010 and 2011 Toyota Rav 4 are of the same generation, so other than minor changes the two vehicles would be essentially identical. The procedure shown in the video will be the same as what you'll use on your 2010.
The parts you mentioned are exactly what you'll need, but you'll also need a # 118412 trailer wiring harness (unless your RAV 4 is already equipped with a 4-pole trailer connector). I'd also consider using the long bracket, # C57202 instead of the short # 18140 to provide more clearance between the 7-way and the hitch.
I've linked you to some install FAQ articles that you might find helpful.
