Hey, everybody, Ryan here at etrailer. Today on our 2021 Toyota Highlander, we’re going to be showing you how to install the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness. But before we do that, why don’t we check it out and make sure that this is something that’s going to work for you. Here at etrailer, I personally see these Highlanders coming in all the time to get a ton of different types of accessories. You know, whether it be a hitch, wiring, a weight distribution system, roof racks, I mean, really the list goes on. You know, people use these to do a little bit of everything, which it makes sense, they’re really capable SUVs.

And with that said, a lot of people pull trailers with them, and whenever you’re pulling a trailer behind your Highlander, you know you’re going to want the lights to work that way people know what you’re doing, and you’ll be safe and legal, and that’s where a wiring kit like this comes into play. So this kit is going to have a four way flat connector, really common type of connector. This is going to work with a lot of different things, kind of your typical trailers, smaller trailers, boats, jet-skis, things like that. And even nowadays light up accessories, like a cargo carrier are getting really popular and if you have something like that, chances are pretty good this will illuminate it too. With that said, one thing that’s really nice about the set up is Toyota makes it super easy.

You know, a lot of times when you’re doing wiring, you have to route wires from the back to the front and it’s kind of a pain, it just takes a lot of time. That’s not the case with this set up, there’s connector plugs that are pretty easy to get to and more or less everything just plugs right in. Which brings me to my next point, so there’s actually two kits available for the Highlander, one without a factory tow package, and one with a factory tow package. And it’s pretty easy to figure out which one you’re going to need. We’ve had several 2021 Highlanders in the shop, and to date, all of them have not had the factory tow package.

So, it’s probably relatively safe to say the majority of them on the road are not, but you can still watch this video and figure out how to check it, it’s actually pretty easy. Behind this panel here right here in this area, there’s got to be a factory connector plug. And if that factory connector plug is empty, it’s not plugged into anything, you’re going to need the wiring kit that is for the Highlanders that do not have the factory tow package. If that connector plug back here is plugged into something right from the factory, chances are really good you can get away with using the wiring kit that is designed for Highlanders that do have the factory tow package. There are a couple more things I do just want to mention, one of them being that the wiring kit does not come with a bracket here to mount up your four way connector, so if you want to set it up similar to this, you will have to grab it separately.

And I did just want to touch base on the use of a brake controller, all right And I say because we get a ton of Highlanders in here wanting to get brake controllers put on, you know, whether you’re pulling a bigger trailer, bigger camper or something like that, so I figured it’d be useful to kind of bring that up. Whenever you put a brake controller on you are going to have to have a seven way connector, and those seven way connectors in order to hook them up, require you to have an existing four way flat wiring connector like this one here. And if that’s what you plan on doing, this wiring kit is going to work with that. So you’ll hook this up, you’ll have your four way flat and you’ll be able to hook it up to your seven way. And if that’s something you’re thinking about doing now, or even in the future, we have a handful of different kits here at etrailer that will allow you to get that done. So when it comes down to it, you know, you can’t really ask much more out of a wiring kit. It’s got to be really easy to install and get the job done. Tekonsha makes really good wiring products. I actually have a Tekonsha wiring on my personal vehicle so I’ve got faith in them, so really shouldn’t have too much to worry about. But other than that, why don’t we go ahead, pull into the garage and put it on together now. To begin our install, we’re going to be here at the back of our Highlander and we need to locate one of our wiring connector plugs and that’s going to be located on the inside here on the driver’s side of our vehicle. To get to that connector plug, we are going to have to kind of loosen up this pan…(read more)
