I have an 02 Sequoia and need to tow an Ameratrail boat trailer that has hydraulic disk brakes with an actutator. The connector on the trailer is a 5 pin flat connector. I have the 4 pin connector on the Sequoia now. My understanding is the 5th pin is for the surge brakes so I can back the trailer without the brakes engaging.
I've read the forum, but it seems much of the advice is on the 7 pin connections. I'm not clear on just a 5 pin connector setup.
For the 5 pin to tow a boat trailer, do you need to run all the lines described for the 7 pin connector (don't have a trailer battery to charge) or can you just tap into the back-up light line and the existing trailer connector on the Sequioa to end up with a 5 pin connector. I'll probably take this to a hitch shop for the install, but want to know going in what needs be done.
Thanks for any assistance.
