Curt Echo Mobile Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 2022 Toyota Tundra- Video

Curt Echo Mobile Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 2022 Toyota Tundra

How's it going, neighbors This is Ed here with etrailer.com and we're taking a look at the Curt Echo Wireless Brake Controller on our 2022 Toyota Tundra. Adding a brake controller to your vehicle is gonna allow you to have additional safety and control of your trailer. And adding a wireless device like the Curt Echo is gonna allow you to have that control without having to manually wire anything into the system. The traditional box-style brake controller, you know, has the nickname knee-knocker 'cause they're usually mounted in that position where it would interfere with where your leg clearance is. Alternatively, we have some that are gonna be minimally invasive, like the REDARC where it's just a knob on your dash, but that installation does require a little bit more and it is permanent. So if you have multiple trailers or trucks or you have a leased truck where you can't make those permanent changes, the Curt Echo is gonna be a great option to allow you to have brakes on your trailer and control it using your Bluetooth device. more

Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller Installation - 2023 Toyota 4Runner

Hello neighbors, it's Brad here at etrailer and today we're taking a look and installing the Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller on a 2023 Toyota 4Runner. Now this is what the REDARC looks like when it's installed and compared to a lot of your traditional brake controllers that you see mounted up on a dash that you inevitably hit your knees on, the REDARC really does a fantastic job of making it look like an OEM brake controller. As you can see, even with this factory knockout plate the button matches all of the controls here. It's hidden out of the way, but it's still super accessible and equally as usable as any other brake controller. Just like any other brake controller you can pick between two modes. You can have it to where it's user controlled or you can have it proportional to the braking pretty easy. more

Curt Echo Mobile Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 2019 Toyota Sequoia

If you own a 2019 Toyota Sequoia, it can haul a lot and you know that it's basically a truck. So what I suggest is getting a brake controller. We have a lot of them, ones that just go inside but the one I like the best is the Curt Echo, why Well, it just goes into the back and hooks up to your trailer and you connect to it with your phone. So it's the easiest thing to install. You really don't have to install it, you just plug it in, download the app and sync everything up.

A lot of people like to refer to those controllers as knee-knockers, and that's our traditional style break controller, it's rather large and clunky. Now with the Redarc, we're not gonna have any of those same issues because most everything is actually gonna be installed behind the dash. The only thing we can see is a small little control knob, and you can see it only sticks out around a half inch or so from your dash here, so you're not taking up much space whatsoever and it looks pretty much factory for you ask me. more

Hello neighbors. It's Brad here at Etrailer, and today we're taking a look at installing the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Proportional Brake Controller on a 2019 Toyota Highlander. The Redarc is a awesome brake controller and the main reason why is gonna be the footprint. Most brake controllers, when you think of them, you probably have scars somewhere on your knees from hitting them as you get in because they mount down low and sometimes they can be in a nice position, but honestly it does get in the way when you're getting in and out. And over time, it's just one thing that's kind of in the way. If you can eliminate that, get a bigger foot, or a smaller footprint that looks nice in OEM but still have all the functions, why not And that's where this one comes into play. more

So it can appropriately apply the output to your trailer brakes to match the vehicle. So if you're stopping on the brakes real hard, this detects that sudden jolt in stopping motion with the inertia sensor and it will apply the trailer brakes hard.If you are just easing on the brakes, this will detect it and it will apply lower voltage back there to ease on the brakes to make it match your vehicle. more

Speaker 1: Today on our 2007 Toyota Tundra, we're going to be taking a look at, and showing you how to install the Tekonsha Voyager proportional trailer brake controller for one to four axles, part number 39510.To help us get that installed, we're going to be using the Tekonsha plug-in wiring adaptor, part number 3040-P.This is what our brake controller looks like when it's installed. This is going to be a proportional brake controller. What that means is it's going to have a sensor inside that going to detect the deceleration of your Tundra, and it's going to send the appropriate amount of force to our trailer brakes. For instance, if we're in an emergency situation and we have to slam on our brakes in our truck, the sensor is going to immediately send that signal to our trailer brakes to match the amount of force being applied so that our trailer can slow itself down, in turn saving the Tundra's brakes, because it's not going to have to slow or stop both the truck and the trailer.Now this is going to be a pretty simple, straight-forward brake controller. It's not going to have any screens or anything like that to look at. It simply has a light that will change colors depending on how you have it set.This know here on the right, this is going to be your gain. more

To help us get that installed, we're going to be using the Tekonsha plugin wiring adapter, part number 3040-P.This is what our brake controller looks like when it's installed. What this is going to be good for is this is going to help you apply brakes to your trailer while you're traveling, in turn saving the brakes on your truck. This is going to be a proportional brake controller which means that the braking force applied in the truck will be matched on the trailer. For instance if we have a quick braking situation and you apply the brakes in your truck, the same amount of force will be applied to the trailer brakes so that the trailer will stop itself instead of the truck having to stop both.Now how this is going to differ from a time delayed, on a time delayed brake controller, when you apply the brakes in the truck it's going to take a few seconds for the brakes to be applied in the trailer. This is just the opposite. more
