Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 2013 Toyota Tundra- Video

Today, on our 2013 Toyota Tundra, we'll be installing the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Brake Controller, part number 90195. In conjunction with the Tekonsha Plug and Play Wiring Adapter, part number 3040-P. To begin our install, we'll first go ahead and mount the brake controller bracket. For this application, I'll be using a couple of self tapping screws or you can also use the screws provided with the brake controller install kit. Once we have the brake controller mounted, we'll then go ahead and set the brake controller in the bracket and secure it with the screws provided in the install kit. Next, we'll need to go ahead and plug in our Plug and Play Wiring Adapter. Before I install the wiring harness, I'm using black electrical tape to wrap up the wires to hold the ground wire to the harness and to clean up our install look. Now with the taped up, we'll go ahead and take the white connector and plug it into the manufacturer's towing port, that's located on the driver's side, just above the kick panel and between it and the parking brake pedal. Now, with that connection made, we'll take the white wire, with the pre-attached ring terminal, which should be the ground wire for our harness, and secure here it to a body ground, which our parking brake pedal bracket is grounded so we can use our self tapping screw and secure it directly to that. Now, with those connections made, we'll go ahead and route our wire back over to the brake controller and install it into the back of the brake controller. Now we have it routed and installed, I'll go ahead and use a couple of black zip ties to secure our wiring up underneath the dash, and then we'll cut off the excess from the zip ties to clean up our install look. Now with that, we're ready to hit the road. That's about it the install of the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Brake Controller, part number 90195, in conjunction with the Tekonsha Plug and Play Wiring Adapter, part number 3040-P on our 2013 Toyota Tundra. . more

Convert-A-Ball Cushioned Weight Distribution Shank Review - 2013 Toyota Tundra- Video

Today on our 20132 Toyota Tundra, we'll be test fitting the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned Weight Distribution Shank for 2-inch hitches rated at 10,000 pounds, part number AMAC1. Now before we begin our test fit, we will first need to obtain a hitch height of our vehicle. This is the measurement from the ground to the inside top of the receiver tube, and we'll get a measurement of 19 inches. This measurement may vary due to hitch style, tire size or any other aftermarket accessories that will alter the hitch height of the vehicle. Now to begin our test fit in the drop position, we'll slide the shank into the opening of the receiver tube of our hitch and line up the pin holes. We'll then secure it to the Tundra with a pin and clip which is sold separately. more

Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount Adapter Review - 2013 Toyota Tundra- Video

Today, on our 2013 Toyota Tundra, we will be test fitting the converter ball, ball mount adapter for the cushion weight distribution shank, rated at 5,000 pounds, part number BA-1. Now, before we begin our test fit, we will first need to obtain a hitch height of our vehicle, which is the measurement from the ground to the inside top of the receiver tube and we will get a measurement of 19 inches. This measurement may vary, due to hitch style, tire size or any other after-market accessories that will alter the hitch height of the vehicle. Now, to begin our test fit with our converter ball cushion weight distribution shank already installed on our vehicle, part number AMAC-1, we will begin our test fit by inserting the ball mount adapter onto the downward part of the distribution shank. We will then insert the pins and measure from the ground to the top of the ball platform and we will get a measurement of about 12 inches. We can also flip the weight distribution shank over into the rise position and then with the ball mount adapter attached to the weight distribution shank, we can measure from the ground to the top of the ball platform and well get a measurement of about 25 inches. more
