Prodigy brake controllers are the best by far! Thats what I run. Thats something you dont want to skimp on.

BJ, you will need to wire the brake controller in and also run another seperate 12v constant wire back to a 7 round connector. (most of the time theyre already run you just have to fund them) That will charge the break-away battery on the trailer. I do these at work and at home all the time for customers. Its not really that hard just a little time consuming. If you want I can help you wire it up. I know all the color codes and where to hook it in at.

Also check the rating for your hitch before you tow anything. Figure the trailer weighs about 1500lbs + the weight of your car.

Yes I dont have any of these on my truck? What does something like this run for materials and labor. I will be squeeking to just buy the trailer. I might try to get him to lower the price or tow it to my house. I did not think that 1900 was a bad deal.

Hey Bob I may have to take you up on this offer to help me install everything needed to tow. I am hoping to be able to have the seller deliver for me tomorrow. Hit me up and let me know what i need to buy for a 2000 tundra so I can start getting money together.

If your tundra has a tow package, it should have the wiring for the controller. Like Bob said you just have to find it. I'll give you a good deal on my prodigy if you want it.

If it will work for my truck. Shoot me a pm with price. I am not sure if the fenders are removable or not. But i have vertical doors so should not be an issue. there is 83" between the fenders. I have the guy dropping it off tomorrow for me. What a deal.

The trailer that i am going to sell is a 4x8 trailer and the bed extends from 8' to 11.5'. 2" coupler. All rails are removable. This is a great trailer for motorcycle, or atv. I used to move our bikes when we moved and then for landscape gravel and dirt.

BJ, I would buy the Prodigy controller. As far as the rest of the wiring I can find it. It shouldnt take much more than an hour or 2 to get the controller and the 7 round plug wired in.

Well as all good things come to an end. I got a call from the seller last night and was told he can not sell the trailer to me due to his wife not allowing him to take first cash offer. What a crock, someone called and offerred more and he did not have the nads to just tell me that. Oh well. I will still wire the truck I think as I will get a trailer by next spring. Just has BS like this.
