Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness Installation - 2022 Toyota Highlander

Hey everybody, Ryan here at Etrailer. Today, on our 2022 Toyota Highlander, we're going to be showing you how to install, the Tekonsha vehicle wiring harness kit, but before we do that, why don't we check this out and make sure it's going to work for you. When it comes to the Toyota Highlander, you know, super capable SUVs and people do a lot of stuff with them, which does include towing and so, if you're pulling a trailer, you're going to want the lights to work on it, and that's exactly what this is going to do, it's going to have that four-way flat, which will plug into those small or medium-sized trailers and power everything up. Not to mention, cargo carriers that have lights on them, are getting more and more popular nowadays, and those will have the same type of connector as well, so this will power those up. But I want to address one of the big questions, it seems like a lot of people are wondering, because there's Highlanders that have "the factory tow package and others that are not equipped, with the factory tow package." And there seems to be a little confusion, when it comes to that. So, just want to explain on how you can figure that out, that way you make sure you get the right wiring, the first time and you'll be squared away. more

When ready to tow, close our hatch on up. By having it off to the side of our latch, we don't have to worry about the wire getting crushed or damaged. As you see, we have adequate slack to bring our wiring very close to where our receiver is, so we shouldn't have any problems hooking up to our trailer at all. One nice feature about our wiring here is we have this dust cover on it that'll protect it from any dirt and debris, which may be inside of our trunk, helping prevent a short or poor connection. This wiring gives us all the functions that we need in order to legally tow a trailer safely. We will have our tail light function, a running light function, turn signal functions, and our brake light functions. Now, this wiring harness will provide us with 2.1 amps of power for our stop and turn signal lights on our trailer with a max tail light amperage or running light amperage of 5.6 amps. more

Best 2016 Toyota Highlander Trailer Wiring Options

Today we're going to be taking a look at the best wiring options for your 2016 Toyota Highlander. First we've got our CURT customer vehicle wiring harness, part number C56217. Then we've got our Tekonsha T1 vehicle wiring harness, part number 118449. Lastly we've got our CURT customer vehicle wiring harness, part number 56042. The first obvious difference that we're going to see here is that with this wiring harness over here this CURT does not have as much as the others. That's because if you have a Highlander that already has the tow package with the conveter mounted underneath the dash, this is all that you're going to need. But, if you don't, then one of these other two kits will be the right fit for you. The first difference that we're going to look at between the CURT and the Tekonsha wiring harnesses is the amperage rating on each circuit. more
