Finished installation with a skilled friend (former airplane mechanic). We abandoned removing the left driver panel next to the door because it did not want to budge at the top right and we both agreed it just wanted to bend/break at that point. We removed the driver side door side floor panel...
@EricGoleta Check out my previous thread. After much nervousness, I started snapping off pieces of the dash. I enlisted a retired airplane mechanic friend to help me mount and ground the Redarc and finish the installation. I will post photos in the next post...
I am having difficulty releasing the left driver side panel where it's circled in red in the first photo.
Where are people attaching the grounding wire from the Redarc?
Final question relating to posting in this forum - I typed a message to start this post and when I added the photos, the text...
Thanks! I will check out that Redarc part number. I know there was one on eTrailer that indicated was not compatible with my 2026. I just wrestled with the dashboard yesterday. If you remove the bottom switch panel - I used a credit card and a computer pry tool to snap off - you can access...
@EricGoleta Did you purchase the Redarc? I am in a similar position with my 2026 4Runner TRD Off Road Premium with factory tow package. I had hoped to use my existing DrawTite brake controller (for my Jeep Wrangler), but no one has a compatible plug and play pigtail.
I found this Redarc on...
Further progress with some advice from a Gen 6 Facebook group -
I have owned Jeep Wranglers since 1998 and haven't owned a Toyota since my first Toyota Tercel in 1987 and then a 1991 Toyota Celica. I LOVED that Celica.
It seems the 4Runner dash is quite modular and many pieces snap on and off...
I made some progress. I removed the lower piece and think that is the brake controller connector up there in white, bundled with other wiring. Question is now - how do I get to it?
My new 2026 4Runner TRD Off Road Premium should be prewired with trailer brake controller connection because it has the tow package (4 way, 7 way), but accessing it is my challenge. The manual page above shows where it's located, but it looks like I have to remove several pieces of dash on the...
I found the page in the manual that shows location, which is higher than I thought. I've seen several posts in here about how people accessed it. I am a bit nervous about prying and pulling pieces, so looking for the best way to access it. Hopefully, I don't need to remove everything. :) I...
