Differences Between The 4-Way Wiring Options For 2002 Toyota Tacoma

Question

Question:

I dont see any obvious differences between + T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector + T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector and + Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector Are there any differences in functionality, durability, features, etc? It would be for a 2002 Tacoma.

There are not many differences between the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118379, Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C55379 and the Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness part # HM43315 for the 2002 Toyota Tacoma besides the brand names. They all install the same and will give you a 4-way connector at the rear of the Tacoma to illuminate the trailer's lights.

However, I recommend the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # C55379 because it can handle a couple more amps of power per circuit of power compared to the other wiring options so it is the better option. I also find the Curt installation instructions photos easier to understand. I have attached an installation video of the Tekonsha brand wiring for your reference, both harnesses install the same.
