  • Factory towbar wiring harness 120

    Hi All, Do i really need to get a factory harness with the relays for a 120 if i'm only going to tow a box trailer with single indicators?

        Nope not if you don't want to. Might pay you but to have a look at some wreckers may pick one up for next to nothing Terry. I think the factory loom is to cater for a bit extra. I have it on mine but was on there when I bought it, would I go and pay the $$$ for one to tow a simple box trailer would depend on price but probably not. .....Cheers Steve

          You bought a $40K truck and you're worrying about a $150 wiring loom???

            How is towing a simple box trailer any different from towing a 3.5t triple axle horse float when it comes to electrics!?

            What does it matter what kind of trailer it is?

            Buy the harness that suits your price range?

              Yeah i am, no i did not spend 40k, 2 relays some trailer wire and a plug $150 seems kinda a waste of my sore of back and shoulders.

                I may be wrong wooley but I think the idea of the extra flasher can in the drivers side rear quarter (like mine has and any other factory loom) is to cater for the extra blinker lights. Im sure some one will correct me if Im wrong but the more blinker lights say down the side of a van the extra flasher can helps keep the blinkers flashing correctly. Sure this is what I have heard but maybe all bullshit to. Either way mine was on my vehicle and in saying that, seems to be people who have the genuine loom have more issues with dust due to the shitty seal/so called grommet Toyota supplied with the loom anyway.........Cheers Steve

                  Well I would say no to that one. I bought a genuine trailer wiring loom and it has really been pretty good.
                  In regards to the grommett, if you dont install it properly it wont seal the dust.
                  There are other areas at the rear of the 120 that let 10 times more dust in than that grommett.
                  I can give a link to show dust ingress if yas like.
                  I cant remember the price being $150 and if it was I dont think I would have bought it. Are you sure that price is right?
                  You have got me tempted to go thru my old receipts now!
                  Ring around a few toyo dealers terry cos $150 does sound over the top.
