4-Way Trailer Wiring Harness Recommendation for 2017 Toyota RAV4

Question

Question:

I just got a 2004 Aliner Scout trailer. We have a 2017 RAV4 Hybrid with dealer-installed hitch, but no wiring harness. Can you help with what parts I will need to make this work and whats entailed in the installation? I dont even know what kind of plug the trailer needs. It does not have electric brakes only 1000 lbs. Thank you so much,

Since your trailer does not have brakes and only weighs 1,000 lbs the type of trailer wiring kit you'd need would be a 4-way harness. Basically the 4-way is for just providing the taillight circuits to the trailer. For that the best option is the Tekonsha kit part # 118578 which is a confirmed custom-fit. I attached an install video for more info as well.

The Tekonsha brand of trailer wiring is the most reliable option we have so it's the one we recommend the highest.
