Thoughts on brake controller location?

This is a great place to ask a simple question. I'm going to move my brake controller to my '21 Tacoma. The easiest place to put it is to the left side of the steering wheel and just run two screws into the lower dash panel. Not the nicest look but functional. Anybody intall the controller and have a different thought on location?

 

Brand of controller?

That's where I put my cheap controller, it works perfectly fine there.

That's mainly because I haven't bothered to get one of those fancy new flush mount controllers, which people will invariably rush in here to talk about.

 

Knee and or shin buster right there, been there done that.

Redarc is top notch https://www.redarcelectronics.com/us/trailer-brakes, knee and shin buster free.

 

All these newfangled kids and their fancy dials..

I'll keep my P2 right where it is;

 

very nice

 

do yourself a favor and buy the Redarc, get rid of the knee and shin buster. join the 2020's. LOL! Ski

 

Question, so I have never owned a automatic transmission 4x4. I know to engage and disengage the 4 H only when the vehicle is moving but can I leave it engaged in 4 H when I park it and turn off the engine, say if I am parked on snow

 

You're fine, leaving it parked in 4x.

 

Valets and service techs have complained about mine. I say good, stop kicking my dashboard, you cretins!

 

Mine is handheld so I just plug it into the 12Volt when needed and let it rest in the cup holder.

 

Idk

 

Thanks
