Question:
Hi Guys - Happy Holidays! I have a 2014 Tacoma with the factory 7 pin trailer connector mounted under the rear bumper. Unfortunately it got waffled and I need to replace it. Is there an aftermarket 7/4 pin connector and bracket that will be plug and play with the factory harness or will I need to do some modification to make it work? Thanks in advance for your help! Best,

Expert Reply:
The part # HM40975 is a replacement 7-way and 4-way that will connect to the round connector you have at the rear of your 2014 Toyota Tacoma. If you needed to hardwire the connector as well you would want the part # HM40975-11998 instead.

I have the same issue w/ my 2014 Tacoma and need to replace the factory 7-pin outlet. However, I keep seeing recommended replacements like this thread that appear to be a USCAR compatable. The 2014 Tacoma does not have a generic USCAR socket at the bumper. Instead, the factory 7-way outlet and the harness are built as a continuous, sealed, one-piece assembly. Is my 2014 Tacoma facrory wiring and outlet different than all the other 2nd gen tacomas out there? I doubt it. I'll keep looking
