What is the Best Brake Controller to Use on a 2018 Toyota Tundra
Question:
How do I install a brake controller on my 2018 Tundra, I don't got no wires under the dash

Expert Reply:
The issue is obtaining the stop light switch which will need to be pulled from either the taillight assembly or the third brake light. This requires pulling interior panels apart and splicing wires, since this is usually the last thing a customer wants to do to a new vehicle, we recommend using the Tekonsha Prodigy RF Wireless Trailer Brake Controller part # TK94FR instead.
The Tekonsha Prodigy RF Wireless Trailer Brake Controller is actually a really nice brake controller even when the wires for a brake controller are available. The Prodigy RF installs completely on the trailer and does not require any modifications to the tow vehicle which is especially important on a leased vehicle. It operates using radio frequency and has great features such as integrated safeguards that protect both the vehicle/trailer in the event of a fault.
I have attached a review/install video for you as well.
