In this video, I'm installing the Tekonsha P3 Trailer Brake Controller on my 2019 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off Road. This Tekonsha brake controller is the perfect Tacoma brake controller and has awesome reviews. The Tekonsha P3 offers different boost levels that you can adjust depending on what size and type of trailer you have. This Tekonsha P3 Tacoma install video shows just how easy it is to install a brake controller on a Tacoma. It also shows the full Tekonsha p3 setup instructions to get you started with your Tacoma brake controller.

If you're having trouble looking for the harness, search "3031-P Tekonsha" on Amazon and that should be the right one. Also double check that the harness is correct for your specific model year. Thanks for watching!

Follow your dreams man! I started my lawn care business 7 Years ago and doing great!! Interesting watching this I'm thinking doing this for another aspect to my income! I traded my 2017 super duty for a 21 tacoma and love it,very versatile and half the money on everything!! Do what works for you!

Nice, congrats on the successful business! Thanks for watching 🤙🏼

These Toyota Tacoma trucks WILL NOT stop a 2000 LBS trailer during an emergency stop ask me I know my 2021 failed my truck was pushed hard by the trailer on flat level ground. After a pants change I went straight home got on Amazon and ordered a $50 plus brake control box plug and play. Took way less than 15 minutes to install.........one million percent difference LOL with clean drawers always now...

@KnightWheelsMedia 3 месяца назад

Yup - definitely a necessary addition for these trucks

@KnightWheelsMedia 2 года назад

definitely a requirement lol

@shermfj 3 года назад

I was under the impression 3rd gen Tacos that are prewired doesn't include '16 and possibly '17. Be prepared for flat tires from the dump. What about two setting for that trailer? One for empty and a second for around 4K pounds? I believe it stores 4 trailer settings.

@feliperomanoff9808 3 года назад

2016 with tow package are pre wired

@KnightWheelsMedia 3 года назад

Yes I should have clarified. I believe all V6 Tacomas have the pre-wiring even without the tow package. Not 100% sure though so don't quote me on that lol Flat tires will happen at some point I'm sure. I have a plug kit & a spare just in case. But yeah after driving with it, I'm going to have two settings on it for sure.

How has the OV tuning been since the first video you made? I am curious, I am sure getting your side job going and what it entails, it is a good thing that you had done the switch. I am still looking into it and on the fence.

@KnightWheelsMedia 3 года назад

It's definitely been helpful with towing!! Honestly couldn't imagine towing like this without it haha a lot of people have even said the tune replaced their need for gears Also, I have a second OVTune update video if you wanna check it out: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wKrK-2aqO_M.html

@MacGyver-1 2 года назад

Should have gotten a redarc controller, I just did mine in 10 minutes and it fits in one of the unused accessory ports in the dash much cleaner install

@KnightWheelsMedia 2 года назад

Redarc is great but I wanted the screen on the Tekonsha

@MacGyver-1 2 года назад

@@KnightWheelsMedia there is nothing on the screen of the tekonsha that the redarc doesn't tell you with the LED, it tells you if the trailer is connected, when it is engaging and with what intensity, the dial is infinitely variable and very easy to set for the correct amount of force for the load. I've have had tekonsha controllers as well as others and this redarc is by far the cleanest install and the screen is overated.

@jerrodmasters Год назад

How do you energize the red arc manually?

@ottokittel709 Год назад

@@MacGyver-1 I also installed the redrac. was thirty min instal. only screw driver to put the ground wire on. only control button visible, no box to hit your knees. complete plug and play. complete control, but no knee knocker control box.

@KnightWheelsMedia Год назад

They must have changed it. Try this one: amzn.to/3keJNK2 Or you can search “Tacoma brake controller harness” and should come up

@ReelNewwt 3 года назад

hey I know you are in my area. What WMAs would you recommend to start to hit some trails. Finally was able to get a new Trd OR

@KnightWheelsMedia 3 года назад

Check out Citrus and Richloam. Those are my two go-to WMAs as they're the closest. But use caution this time of year as they're pretty muddy haha

@fishtacoma 3 года назад

Is that trailer brake controller also for the semi-truck trailer/container? 😆

@KnightWheelsMedia 3 года назад

Haha might come in handy!!

@joopers7 7 месяцев назад

I'd like to do something like this in Houston....if you don't mind me asking what you charge and are you making a good profit??

@KnightWheelsMedia 7 месяцев назад

You’ll need to do some market research for your specific area because of dump fees & such. For me it was profitable but not relative to the time/effort so I didn’t do it for very long.

@johnnyrodriguez8358 2 года назад

I wired a shut switch so not to burn out controller prematurely.

@KnightWheelsMedia 2 года назад

Good idea 🤙🏼

@feliperomanoff9808 3 года назад

I would be adding a transmission cooler, if it does not have one.

When you disconnect the battery do you have to reset your idle settings or radio or gps?

@KnightWheelsMedia Год назад

Not that I remember but it's definitely possible yes

@pineapplesmash6678 Год назад

I got mine all installed today did everything u did and my P3 controller light stays on shouldn't that shut off....I'm afraid it will kill my battery or do I have to power it off

@KnightWheelsMedia Год назад

I don't really remember if it stayed on or not. It probably shuts off after a little while if I had to guess. Either way I don't think it will draw enough power to kill your battery

@marklorenz1853 Год назад

The link goes to the controller but not the harness needed for Tacoma. I think I found it but want to be sure.

Super weird, the link is right when I click it. WIll add the harness separately, thanks.

Hi any update on your dumpster business? I do not see a link to your new channel.

@KnightWheelsMedia Год назад

I only ended up doing it for a few months then got too busy to keep up with it so I sold the trailer (for profit)

@wizardofraw Год назад

@@KnightWheelsMedia How did the Tacoma do pulling the trailer loaded? I have a Tacoma just like yours, but completely stock I have done nothing to it and I was looking for a trailer to start junk removal.

@SMILEYRLR Год назад

That trailer's not too big? It says everywhere your supposed to use 3/4 ton for that size dump trailer. Tacoma is only a 1/2 ton with up to 6,500 lbs payload.

@KnightWheelsMedia Год назад

It's doable but definitely not recommended, especially long term. I never got close to maxing out the Tacoma's towing capacity.

@6582rg 7 месяцев назад

The issue is the payload capacity. By the time you add the weight of the driver, supplies, tongue and hitch, there won't be much to spare, if any. CC is on the driver door frame sticker. My Tacoma Limited is just shy of 1K.

Top two? What’s the other one?

@KnightWheelsMedia 3 года назад

I've heard good things about the Redarc one. It installs pretty cleanly using one of the empty button slots but I used all my buttons for aux lights so I didn't have a good place for it.. it's also more expensive and has no screen lol depends on preference I guess
