The Pro Series Pilot trailer brake controller is a great option for those who tow light loads at all hours of the day and night, in all types of weather. Its dark, smokey lens makes it ideal for direct light applications, creating optimum visibility to read the large, two-digit display. The Pilot brake controller kit is a time-based controller that works by electronically connecting your vehicle and your trailer. When you hit the brakes in your tow vehicle, it generates an output signal that ramps up, or increases over a period of time, applying braking power to your trailer at a fixed rate. Its large, easy-to-read dual digit display shows power output and the aggressiveness with which the controller applies the brakes. The Pilot also has manual override to help you brake safely when an unexpected stop pops up. It features advanced internal circuit protection, real time diagnostics, short circuit protection, and loss of ground. Because the Pilot is time-based, it can be mounted in any direction. Plus, the Plug & Play feature allows for quick and easy connection with your vehicle’s wiring. The Pilot trailer brake controller works with 1-3 axle trailers, comes with all the mounting hardware needed for installation, and is backed by a limited 1-year warranty.

Tekonsha is a leading manufacturer of electronic trailer brake controllers, pioneering the category in the 1970s. The lineup spans proportional units such as the Prodigy P3 and Prodigy iD, time-delayed controllers, the wireless Prodigy RF, plus vehicle-specific wiring harnesses, adapters and trailer brake components engineered for smooth, predictable stopping at any speed.
Tekonsha Engineering Company began in 1964 building RV steps and mirrors. Within a few years it had found its real calling, and by the 1970s Tekonsha was pioneering the manufacture of electronic trailer brake controllers, the product category that still defines the brand. More than half a century later it remains the reference name in trailer braking and is part of the Horizon Global group alongside Reese, Draw-Tite, Fulton, Bulldog and Wesbar.
A brake controller is the component that tells a trailer's electric brakes how hard to work and when, and getting that right is the difference between a controlled stop and a shove from behind. Tekonsha builds both major types. Proportional controllers use an internal accelerometer to sense how quickly the tow vehicle is slowing and apply trailer braking to match, so light braking stays light and hard braking is immediate. Time-delayed controllers ramp to a preset output over a fixed interval, a simpler and more economical approach that suits occasional towing.
The current brake controller range covers most of that ground. The Prodigy iD pairs with a phone through Tekonsha's EDGE technology for setup and monitoring, the P3 offers storable settings for multiple trailers and a trilingual colour LED display, the Prodigy P2 adds a dimmable display and boost mode for heavier loads, and the Voyager keeps operation simple and dependable. The Prodigy RF mounts to the trailer itself and controls wirelessly, which suits rental fleets and drivers who swap tow vehicles.
Installation is supported by vehicle-specific brake control harnesses that plug into a factory connector rather than requiring cut-and-splice wiring, along with mounting brackets and adapters. Matched controller bundles pair a unit with the correct harness. Products are tested to meet and often exceed published industry standards.

The 2014-2025 Toyota 4Runner Pilot Trailer Time?Delay Brake Controller for Trailers with 1?3 Axles 80550 (Part #80550 70319) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
The 3041-037 is designed for vehicles with a factory electric brake control harness. The harness must have a 5-pin connector located underneath and to the left of the steering column, taped to another harness near the emergency brake pedal. The manual shows a Toyota 4Runner as an example application. To confirm compatibility with your specific vehicle, check your vehicle's owner's manual or contact the manufacturer, as the manual does not provide a complete compatibility list.
The adapter includes a 5-pin connector that mates with the vehicle's electric brake control harness, a white wire with an eyelet and screw for grounding, and the brake control adapter itself. The eyelet and screw are used to secure the white ground wire to an existing ground stud or to a 3/32" hole that you drill.
The electric brake control harness is located underneath and to the left of the steering column. It is taped to another harness near the emergency brake pedal. The harness has a 5-pin connector that the adapter plugs into.
First, plug the brake control adapter into its mating receptacle on the backside of the brake control unit itself. Then locate the vehicle's electric brake control harness connector (5-pin) and plug the adapter into it. Do not plug the adapter into the vehicle connector before connecting it to the brake control unit.
Drilling is not required if a suitable grounding point already exists near the brake control harness connector, such as an existing ground stud. If no suitable ground point is available, you must drill a 3/32" hole to secure the white ground wire using the eyelet and screw provided. Do not drill into the vehicle floor or bed. Clean dirt and rustproofing from the area before drilling.
The manual specifies that you will need a drill with a 3/32" bit if no existing ground stud is available. Safety glasses are required during installation. The adapter comes with an eyelet and screw for grounding, so no additional fasteners are needed for that step. The manual does not specify other tools required.
The adapter supports a maximum of 4 axles with 8 brakes at 24 amps. Do not exceed the lower of your towing manufacturer's rating or this maximum capacity. Overloading the circuit can cause fires. Consult your vehicle's owner's manual and the brake control manufacturer's instruction sheet for additional information.
Yes. After plugging the adapter into the vehicle's electric brake control harness, you must follow all installation instructions provided by the electric brake control manufacturer. You must also mount the brake control unit as directed by the manufacturer and perform all test procedures as instructed. The adapter installation is only the first step; the brake control unit installation must be completed per the manufacturer's specific requirements.
Wear safety glasses during installation. Read and follow all vehicle warnings and installation instructions before beginning. Do not drill into the vehicle floor or bed when securing the ground wire. Clean dirt and rustproofing from the grounding area before drilling. Follow all brake control manufacturer's installation instructions and perform test procedures as instructed.
Locate a suitable grounding point near the brake control harness connector. This can be an existing ground stud or a 3/32" hole you drill. Before securing the white ground wire, clean dirt and rustproofing from the area. The white wire is secured using the eyelet and screw provided with the adapter.
The adapter fits vehicles with a factory electric brake control harness and a 5-pin connector located under the steering column. The manual shows a Toyota 4Runner as an example. Verify your vehicle has this harness before purchasing.
Drilling is required only if no existing ground stud is available. If needed, drill a 3/32" hole for the white ground wire. Do not drill into the vehicle floor or bed.
