You will need the round 7 pin combo brake and light connection. Your dealer should be able to install it for you. Not cheap. I love the Equalizer wdh and find it easy to hook up. It is heavy duty but I like that. My dealer installed it for me when I picked up the 178.

Thanks for the info.  

I have the tow package on my Fj so I should have the wiring harness up front to plug in the Prodigy.  I only have a flat 4 pin connector at the hitch.   Did you have to run the brake wire to the hitch or is there a plug for an adaptor at the rear of the vehicle also?  Do the Pods use a round 7 pin connector?

I have the andersen wdh an think it works great. The deciding factor for me between the andersen and equalizer was the ease of installation of the andersen. It took me about 30 minutes to install. Now it takes only a few minutes to be up and running. Put the hitch in the receiver, hook up the trailer and tighten the chains with the supplied socket and you're good to go. I don't remember which prodigy I have but it also works very well. I have a tacoma with the trailer package and the controller hooked directly into the wiring harness. No extra wiring was necessary.

Thanks,  May end up with the Equalizer WDH.   The Anderson looked light weight, no noise or ball grease.  But would like to hear from some pod owners that have used it.

I have the P3 and think it's great. I also have the Equalizer WDH. My TV is a 07 4Runner , so we have similar vehicles.

Hi, I am looking for advice on getting my TV ,2007 Toyota Fj, ready to pick up our 177 HRE from the dealer.   I am interested in the Anderson WDH and the Prodigy 3 brake controller.   If anyone has any information or other suggestion I would appreciate it
