I’m closing in on buying a TRD Off-Road Premium, and I’m conflicted about the Integrated Trailer Brake Controller. Currently don’t do a lot of towing, my fiancés dad has a boat trailer with surge brakes, but she’s made it well known she would like our own boat at some point in the future. From the little info I’ve seen so far, people have either said there is no brake controller wiring harness for any model built without the tow package, or that there is a harness but it uses a new proprietary connector. Can anyone confirm or deny this? If possible I’d prefer to go the aftermarket route when they become available as it would be cheaper than the $500+ tow package, but I wouldn’t want to deal with the hassle of running a harness across the length of the truck

2025 4Runner Price Expectations

Trail4R · 2024-04-15T21:50:31+00:00

Official Pricing will be released this fall, however with some 5th Gen 4Runner pricing and comparative data against the 2025 Tacoma and J250 Land Cruiser - we can make some assumptions. The biggest factor in price will be the upgrade options for premium models. With the 2025 Tacoma price live on Toyota's website, we can make a correlation between the two. 2025 Tacoma Upgrade Pricing TRD SPORT Upgrade Package with Options: $6,255 TRD SPORT Premium Package with Options: $8,690 Audio Multimedia Upgrade with Options: $1,490 Heated Front Seats with Options: $645 Based on some of these upgrade options, we can get closer to the base price and premium package upgrade options. Of course we are just making assumptions here, but what do you think? Is this realistic pricing or no? Updated with the V3 Pricing Expectations:
