Hey guys- I recently purchased a 2003 LX470 for my tow vehicle/wife's daily driver. I will be towing a 20' steel trailer and my S2000 or MR2. I am putting together a list of what I need for the safest towing package. I searched and read through innumerable threads on here, and made a list through e-trailer. Maybe some of you more knowledgeable folks can tell me what I might be missing and will need.
Also, I found threads where people reported problems with the 2003+ wiring harness and trailers with batteries. My truck has the factory 7-pin connector under the driver's side rear bumper. I assume if I am not running a battery on the trailer, I do not need to be concerned with this issue? There is a battery there for the safety breakaway kit. I am wondering if I need to buy a battery isolator from e-trailer as well. I am hoping to order this stuff all at once so I don't wind up needing multiple shipments!
