If your 2015 Toyota Tacoma has a factory 7-way the correct install harness would be the part # 3040-P. This adapter plugs into the 5-pin connector on your vehicle's built-in brake control wiring harness. The harness is located underneath the dash, to the left of the steering column, taped to another harness near the emergency brake pedal. See install video I linked.

If you do not have a trailer connector at the rear of your vehicle you would need to go a different route.

You will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # 118496.

From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7. I attached installation instructions and an install video for this product as well.

For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup.
