Since this thread has been revived...
When I mentioned the Timbren SES for Tundra, I must have somehow been thinking that Paul and Janet have a Tundra (rather than a Sequoia) so I listed the wrong...

Timbren doesn't make shock absorbers or air springs/shocks, so I assume that both of these are references to Timbren SES Suspension Enhancement (https://timbren.com/products-page/ses/TORTUN4/)...

You don't need to, but most people prefer to have the power to the trailer shut off when the engine is not running, to avoid accidentally running down the tow vehicle's battery when the trailer is...

I would not assume that Escape Trailer Industries will install a Prodigy RF, but if they won't - and if you decide to go with the RF approach - there are solutions:

Escape might send the trailer...

For the Prodigy RF, you are supplying power to the battery charge line (pin 4 of an RV 7-way connector, conventionally a black wire). The electric brake connection (pin 2 of an RV 7-way connector,...

I hate fighting with interior panels, and didn't want to run wire though a hole in the body in the rear, so all of the wires which I installed to my 7-pin connector (charge, brake output, ground) run...

There is no need to buy controllers for each tug even with a controller wired to the tug. With a conventionally wired controller, you just unplug the controller and move it to whatever vehicle is...

The Prodigy RF is basically a regular Prodigy (the most common full-featured proportional brake controller), but located on the trailer instead of in the tug. Like any proportional controller, it...

So I think we can assume all of Toyota's wiring preparation for towing is not there:
