Best 2008 Toyota Tacoma Trailer Wiring Options- Video

Today, we're going to be taking a look at the best wiring options for your 2008 Toyota Tacoma. First, we've got the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector, part number C55513. Then, we've also got the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector, part number 118496. Curt also has a wiring harness available with the 5-pole flat trailer connector, which is going to be good if you've got a trailer with surge brakes and you need that reverse light circuit. That one's going to be part number C56513. The biggest difference that we're going to see between these two wiring harnesses is the amperage ratings on the circuits. On the Curt, it has a 3 amp rating on the turn and brake light circuits and a 5 amp rating on the taillight circuit. more

Trailer Wiring Harness Installation - 2008 Toyota Tacoma- Video

Today we are working on a 2008 Toyota Tacoma. We will be installing Tow Ready T-one connector part number 118496. Our first step will be to lower the tailgate. This will expose the mounting screws so that we can remove the rear taillight. They will be identical on the passenger side also. Let us go ahead and do that now. With our mounting screws removed, we can go ahead and remove the taillight. We will just work it back and forth until it comes free from its fasteners. With the taillight removed, you can see the connection here for our new Tow Ready connector. So we will depress the locking tab here on the backside of the connector and separate the two connection points. Once we disconnect the two connection points, the taillight lens will be free of the vehicle. We will take our yellow wire connector. It will match the manufacturer connection and we can plug them inline. Once it snaps in place, we can then go back to the vehicle connector on the other side and snap it into place. 1:00 more
