Easy-to-Access Brake Controller

Tekonsha POD Controls and Components

The Tekonsha POD is designed to mount in any direction, and it's especially suited for mounting on near-vertical dashes. All the controls are on the front of the module, so you can still access them with the controller tucked away in a convenient place.


Tekonsha POD review

Braking Output

Braking output is the maximum amount of power that will be applied to your trailer's brakes. How much braking output you need is determined by the weight of your trailer; a heavier trailer will need more power to bring it to a stop. You want to set the braking output as high as you can without locking up the brakes. Once you've set up the brake controller the first time, you shouldn't need to adjust the settings until the trailer load changes, you switch trailers, or road conditions change. Use the thumbwheel on the side to change the braking output level. The output setting will appear as a number on the digital display, with a higher number indicating higher braking power.


Manual Override

The Tekonsha POD keeps the manual override within easy reach on the front of the module, great for stopping sway or controlling your trailer's momentum in emergencies. Push the slide-bar lever to activate the trailer's brakes and brake lights without you having to apply the brakes on your tow vehicle, perfect for limiting trailer movement while you're cruising.


Quick, Simple Installation

Because inertia plays no role in the functioning of this controller, you do not have to mount the unit at any particular angle. Your mounting options are limitless, with the controller designed with all of the controls on the front of the module so you can access them even if it's mounted upside down.


The included custom adapter plugs into the connector on your vehicle's built-in brake control wiring harness, which is underneath your dash, to the left of the steering column, taped to another harness near the emergency brake pedal. Once you have the wiring connected to your vehicle, just plug the other end into the POD. Because there are no wires to splice, installation is not permanent. You can unplug and remove the brake controller at any time and securely stow it away.


Note: If you don't already have a 7-way plug at the back of your vehicle, take a look at our exclusive 7- and 4-way brake controller installation kit (ETBC7 - sold separately).


Time-Delayed Braking

What is time-delayed braking

The Tekonsha POD comes equipped with time-delayed braking. Every time you apply the brakes in your vehicle, a signal is sent - via the brake switch - to the POD. The controller then sends power out to your trailer brakes to activate them with an intensity set by you, at a rate determined by you. The amount of braking power (output) can be adjusted to suit your preference, the road conditions, the type of trailer, and the weight of your load. To determine which levels are best for your application, test your towing setup and choose what feels right.

Video Transcript for In-Depth Review of the Tekonsha POD Trailer Brake Controller

Hey everybody, Ryan here at etrailer. Today, we're gonna be taking a look at the Tekonsha PowerTrac Brake Controller. So, this will be a real good choice for those of you that are maybe just replacing an older brake controller and just wanna stick to something simple. And that's for a brake controller like this one's gonna come into play. What this is gonna do, is send power after your trailer's brakes and help keep everything safe. One of the things I like about this one is kind of how it's styled actually.

It's just a little bit different. It kind of has some different angles going on here and the face of it is flat. It's just really user-friendly. It's easy to see what's going on and easy to reach everything. You know, it's something small but goes it a long way in terms of having to live with it and use it, you know.

I'd say it's probably, overall size, it's probably medium. You know, there's some smaller, more compact ones like the Draw-Tite I-Command, for example. And then there's some little bit larger ones like the Tekonsha P3. So, it kind of falls somewhere in the middle. The thing is with this one, it is a time-delayed brake controller.

And so what that means, is it's gonna have a preset amount of power that is sent back to your brakes whenever you hit your brake pedal in your vehicle here. You know, that has some benefits and some downsides to the more modern proportional type brake controller. One of the benefits is, of the time-delayed is, you know what to expect. You know, you have the complete adjustability of how much power you wanna send back there. But you know, one of the advantages the proportional one has it's a little bit smoother, you know smoother of an experience, generally speaking.

You can usually fine-tune the time delays and be really happy with it. But just to kind of throw a brake controller in and go a proportional one's usually a little bit better. What they do is match the breaking pressure of your 4Runner. So let's say, if like you're barely hitting the brakes in here, about halfway, trailer brakes are gonna do the same thing. On the other hand, let's say emergency stop, right So you really gotta stand on that brake pedal, trailer brakes gotta do the same thing. So it's hard to argue with that, you know what I mean It's gotta match that pressure and be really predictable. So, in terms of actually living with this, I mean, super simple, you're gonna have one adjustment so you're gonna have a dial here, and you can either dial-up or dial-down the breaking intensity. So obviously when you go up and hit your brake or we'll use the manual override, just kind of amplifies a little more. You can see the color is going to indicate to you how much braking power is being applied. So green and, you know, yellowish-orange, that's light power the more power that's applied, it's gonna turn into that deep red. And that deep red is letting us know, that we have maximum power going back there. So, one of the things that you can do, whenever you get your trailer, is hook up to it, you can hit your brake pedal and dial that knob up till about orange, you know, about somewhere in the middle kind of go from there. If you feel like the breaking power's not strong enough, if the trailer's kind of wanting to push you around or you feel your car kind of struggling, you know you can always dial that up some and amplify it. If it's too much, if the brakings' too aggressive, just dial it down some. So, like I talked about earlier you can adjust this pretty good. So, you know, you find something you're happy with and you go, "All right, I'm just gonna bump it up a little bit more, see how it feels." And you can really dial that in, to your liking. And I feel like, that's why this is a pretty popular brake controller. You know, it's just so simple. I mean, anyone can figure this thing out. One of the things though, you know, nowadays there's so many of 'em available and some of them are really neat. You get a ton of options and crazy adjustability, like the P3 by Tekonsha, for example, you can do all sorts of wild things with it. You know those ones with all the bells and whistles are really kind of targeted towards people that use 'em for a living, you know, and really rely on all those different options. Something like this vehicle, you know, if you pull the same trailer, maybe two, this is gonna get you going down the road just fine. And, you know, I do just want to give you an option, maybe you don't like the look of the traditional style brake controller, where it's mounted on the dash, you know, and I don't blame you. There is options out there. One of 'em is the REDARC, and essentially the main body of the brake controller is hidden up underneath the dash where you can't see it. And the control is simply just a small knob. And it's actually really cool, I've done several of them. That's always an option for you as well. But, other than that at the end of the day if you're looking for something simple that's gotta work and you can rely on, can't really go wrong with this brake controller. And that'll finish up our look at, the Tekonsha PowerTrac Brake Controller..

According to the description on the website I should be able to adjust the delay in breaking. Apparently it’s preset



by:

Great little brake controller for the money if you don't need heavy braking on a larger trailer. Simple and economic.



by:

We have a Honda Ridgeline and needed this for our camper trailer. It was nice ordering the specific plug in wire for the Ridgeline and therefore eliminating hard wiring, just plugged it in. It was rough getting to the factory plug under the dash by the emergency brake petal switch. My hands are not small enough, ha ha. But success was had. Plugged into the controller and mounted it and u-wall-a. It works the way it is suppose to, I like that. A good quality unit that does what it is suppose to. thanks.



by:

Very happy with this product. It fit nicely in my truck and plugged right into the factory wiring harness. Total installation time was under an hour. Easy to adjust, and works perfectly with my 5th wheel trailer. I simply pulled out the little storage cubby from the dash, cut the back off, slid the controller in, bolted it together, and stuck it all back in the dash. Looks and works great.



by:

I used this product before on a 2018 4 runner now on my 2021 love it works easy. Was in a bind
To get trailer and needed trailer brake paid extra to get it day before I headed out and it did arrive and installed ! Thank you



by:

I have a Toyota Tacoma (06). I had the controller installed in less than five minutes. One minute to gather the tools: drill/bits, screw driver, and tape. I thought tape would be helpful to hold the ground screw to the driver given the tight are under the dash. One minute to drill the ground hole. One minute to install the ground screw. One minute to plug in the cables and fish the wire under the stirring wheel to allow for the controller to be mounted in the storage area found on Tacoma trucks dash. I guess I was wrong. It only took four minutes. I did not need to put the tools away I was off to do other projects. I rate the product as good because I have not tried it on the trailer yet.



by:

I received my purchase very quickly.
I
just installed the control and wire harness today. Installation was easy, all you need are basic hand tools and a drill with a small bit.
Haven't had chance to test it out yet but, when I do I'll update.



by:

Easy to install in my Toyota-Tacoma 2012. I pull my Travel Trailer and this break controller worked very well and with just a little bit adjustment. Also this item was shipped very fast.



by:

Worked out perfectly for me, super easy installation with adapter harness. Work's flawlessly, easy one hand gain control with control's on front. My truck had nice cubby it fit in so out of the way and seamless look. Thanks for a great product and service.



by:

This was long enough to route across from the emergency brake to the center console. Grounded white wire to a bolt under the dash with a 10mm nut. Easy



by:

Thanks to etrailer’s video “Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee”, the installation of a Tekonsha PowerTrac controller on my 2003 Jeep was very straight forward (and I’m not a car guy!). Like in the video, I used the wiring kit (#5506). I forgot to order a pigtail wiring harness but was able to pick one up locally. Took the trailer out last weekend and the brakes worked great.



by:

I sell and install a variety of components for various companies and individuals. I have zero comebacks from this company. Not that I haven't received defective parts but they always make it right. And that is good business.



by:

The control works great. Nice incremental application of wheel from nothing to hard on! Led light goes from green to red also in incremental degrees. Installation was a snap in my 2008 F150 with tow package. Just Plug in the control clip and the other end in the terminal above and to the right of the computer check terminal. Rather than have it below my dash I opted for the cove below the lighter. Etrailer did a nice job of getting out to me right away and kept me informed where this was at all the way to my door. Good Job!



by:

The controller was a great option for our 2021 forest river FSX and gave me plenty of control over the brakes. It does require a adjustment time to time but has always worked when brakes are applied. The setup and installation were a breeze and has worked for many trips.



by:

After 1 year of flawless use I am very pleased with this wiring harness for my 2016 Toyota 4Runner. The installation was super simple and easy; plug and play. I would definitely purchase again for another vehicle.



by:

Product arrived quickly and installed very easily. Plug and play with the correct adapter (3035-P Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers - Ford, Lincoln, Mercury) for a 2001 Ford F-150. Controller is very easy to set the braking on your trailer.



by:

Installed on 2003 Toyota Tundra with the factory tow package. Installation was a breeze with the included vehicle specific wiring adapter. It took me about 45 minutes total. Looks professionally installed. Easy to use. Set the adjustment for your specific trailer and go!



by:

Plug and play! I've had the same brake controller on several vehicles...get the correct harnest for your vehicle and easy peezy! Advice: Plan on how you're going to route your wire harnest first before mounting brackets.



by:

I ordered the powertrac with the 22292, 2011 ford F150 wiring adapter, It works great. 15 mins, and I had everything ready to go. It is a little sensitive to adjust but ones you get the feel for it, it takes no time to adjust. very happy with this unit, I would recommend this unit to everyone.



by:

Super easy install just plugged in and bolt down the controller works great



by:

Didn't take long to get once I ordered it. Very easy to install. I used the video to help with the install. Can't wait to start camping. Would definitely use etrailer.com again and will recommend it to friends and family.



by:

Added this to my 4Runner to pull my motorcycle trailer. Easy to install works as expected. Very happy with product and etrailer, they will get my future business.



by:

The brake controller we purchased and had professionally installed works perfectly. We had it installed in our RV for use when towing a large vehicle trailer. It's reliable and simple. It was a great purchase!



by:

Have used the power track for a year with city and interstate travel and a 4000# single axle TT. Working flawlessly on my 20 Blazer using a bypass stoplight switch.



by:

Very quick shipping, great communication. have used etrailer several times and have always been happy with their service.

This will install in your 2019 Tacoma using the wiring adapter part # 3031-P which connects between the controller and the plug-in port under your dash.

  • Installing Electric Trailer Brake Controller in 2019 Ford Ranger
    On your 2019 Ford Ranger, there isn't any wiring under the dash for a brake controller. You can either use a wireless trailer brake controller like the Curt Echo # C51180 or you can hardwire a controller of your choice using the wiring kit # 5506. Your factory 7-way should already have the 12V power connected, so you can simply use # 10-1-1 for wire from your battery to the circuit breaker # 38630 and then to the brake controller. Then use the same wire from the blue brake controller...

  • Prodigy P2 and P3 vs Curt Triflex Controller Comparison
    We have the best luck with the Prodigy P3 # 90195 and P2 part # 90885. There isn't a controller out there more reliable and better performing that these. The Curt Triflex part # C24VV isn't a bad controller but it's just not quite the same. One aspect is the mounting flexibility is much more limited for the Curt. The Prodigies allow for 360 degrees of mounting rotation as long as the controller faces the rear, but the Curt has a much smaller range. We find too that the Curt controllers...

  • Is The Tekonsha 3040-P Wiring Adapter Supposed To Have A Ground Strap Like The 3041-P?
    The Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter # 3040-P is supposed to have the additional ground strap for your 2019 Toyota Sequoia. This was something that was not always on the harness but was added some time ago as the factory wiring ground was insufficient. This will allow you to properly connect your Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Controller # 90195 to your Sequoia. While it will look similar to the Tekonsha # 3041-P they are not interchangeable as they terminals are different.

  • Why is there a Second Ground Wire in Brake Control Wiring Harness # 3041-P for 2017 Toyota 4Runner
    The grounds on many Toyota vehicles including your 2017 Toyota 4Runner has proven to be insufficient so an additional ground wire has been added to help. There is likely an existing ground location under the dash you can use or a bare metal surface that would be perfect for a ground. The firewall is one option. Just as long as it isn't a painted or coated surface and just bare metal it will work.

    Are you using the # 3041-P adapter? It's the correct one for your 2018 Toyota 4Runner. Test the connector under the 4Runner's dashboard with a circuit tester, like part #PTW2992, to test for power. If there's no power start by checking the fuses.
