Is a Wireless Trailer Brake Controller Best for a 2019 Toyota Tacoma
Question:
Im interested in the wireless brake controller. I keep reading that there are issues with the blue tooth fading in and out and affecting the controller. Is the smart phone hook up simply a hand held means of adjustment as would be on a dash mounted system? I just cant find a review that states that inch this is the best way to go, so to speak. It seems the easiest and makes perfect sense. Is this unit worth the money, really? Please give me your thoughts. Thank you,

Expert Reply:
I personally love wireless trailer brake controllers due to their ease of install and minimal modifications on vehicles without trailer brake controller provisions. That said, there are trailer brake controller provisions on a 2019 Toyota Tacoma so I recommend taking advantage of this with the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller part # RED24FR and Plug-and-Play Wiring Harness for Redarc Tow-Pro Trailer Brake Controllers part # RED99FR. If you also add the Mounting Panel for Redarc Tow-Pro Trailer Brake Controller Control Knob part # 331-TPSI-002 you'll have a 100% factory appearance with no splicing or drilling whatsoever.
