Expert Reply:

Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness # HM11143384 does not fit the 2015 Toyota Tacoma. There isn't a plug-in 7-Way that will fit your 2015 Tacoma so to add one you would first need to install a 4-Way flat (unless the truck already has one) using # 118496. Then you would use # ETBC7 to add the 7-Way and retain the 4-Way.

If the truck came with a 7-Way and it was damaged then you can use # 37185, cut off its 4-Way, and hardwiring the wires from it to the wires on the Tacoma by function. On the 37185 the white wire is ground, brown is running lights, yellow is left turn/brake, green is right turn/brake, black is 12 volt power, purple is reverse lights, and blue is output to electric trailer brakes.
