I'll chime in. I have a 2004 V8 limited. I have towed with it since it was new. I regularly tow a Supra SSV 22' ski boat (dry weight 3250 lbs) to / from local lakes. I pulled the boat from Ohio to DC when I bought in (in a blizzard through WV) and have twice towed the boat plus fully...

Wiring was pretty straight forward. Followed the diagram from here Another reference here Couple of notes: - switch has a ground and three hots - top pin is for 12V source. Depending on where you connect this determines when you will be able to activate the lights. I originally wanted to...
