If you want anderson plug and trailer brakes, insist on Redarc smart solenoid SBI12 (or SBI12D) for the anderson plug setup and tow pro elite unit for the electric brakes.

We fitted hundreds of these ****ers and never had one come back for a warranty for the solenoid and only one warranty on the tow pro elite - your local independent auto electrician can do this for you.

My dad has a 2006? Hilux SR 4.0 4x4. I took it up the forest in March and went off roading. 330,000 kms now. It’s been used and abused, but drives as good as it did when he bought it. About 16L/100. It’s not worth much because of low demand for petrol there, but I would totally buy it off him if I moved back there. It’s a really good torquey engine. Far better than the 3.6 in my Colorado, which has absolutely no low end torque!
