What is Difference Between Redarc Tow Pro Liberty and Elite

Question

Question:

The Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty # RED24FR is the way to go over the Elite # RED44FR as you get the nicer functions of the Elite at a lower price. The Elite has the ability to be the more preferred proportional style of controller as well as a time-delayed whereas the Liberty gives you just the proportional setting which is what you'd want to use with your towing setup. Proportional controllers sense how hard you are applying the vehicle brakes whereas time delayed means it puts a preset amount of braking pressure over time. Since this feature isn't supported on the Liberty it allows the cost to be lower.

You'd need the part # 3040-S to install either Redarc in your 2012 Toyota 4Runner. When we installed the Elite in a 2012 4Runner we used the universal bracket # 331-TPSI-001 which you can see in the attached install video on this page.
