Sure, I can help with that. I can see why the fitment notes are confusing. For a 2012 Toyota Tundra with the factory tow package and factory 7 way connector, you'll want a brake controller that plugs into the factory brake controller port under…

Ready to pull, recover, or drag, hitch mount tow shackles turn your receiver into a solid attachment point. Choose by receiver size—1-1/4, 2, or 2.5 inches—plus the shackle pin or hole size you need like 5/8 inch, 3/4 inch, or 1 inch; some allow horizontal or vertical clevis mounting. Weight ratings vary, with options such as 13,000 lb working load or 30,000 lb capacity, so match the rating and a hitch pin that fits.
Yes, some mounts are drilled so the clevis can be set horizontal or vertical. This helps reduce side loading when a pull isn't straight behind the vehicle. Check that your mount has holes for both orientations. If it doesn't, keep pulls in line with the receiver to minimize side load on the pin.
Confirm both the mount's shackle hole and the shackle pin diameters. Options noted include shackle pins like 3/4" and 7/8", and mount holes around 5/8" to 1". Ensure the shackle ears have enough inside width to straddle the mount. If swapping in a different shackle, verify pin size and fit before use.
Match the mount to your hitch: 1-1/4" for many ATV/UTV setups, 2" is common on trucks/SUVs, and 2-1/2" options are available. Verify the shank slides fully into your receiver without binding. Check the center of hitch pin hole to face clearance if your bumper or accessories are close. If tolerances feel tight, confirm dimensions before heading out.
Follow the stated working load limit; some list 13,000 lbs WLL, and 2-1/2" receiver options can list up to 30,000 lbs. Don't exceed the WLL if break strength isn't provided. A standard hitch pin that fits your receiver works with the accessory's capacity; many pins don't publish ratings. For extra assurance, choose a lock with a published shear rating.
