It sounds like you want to install an electronic trailer brake controller in your 2001 Toyota Tundra. We can help you with the items you need.

For a brake controller I recommend the popular and easy-to-use Prodigy P2 # 90885. This controller offers the best mix of features and proven reliability.

If the Tundra does not have any trailer wiring you will also need to add a 4-pole harness such as # 118378. Then all you need is our brake controller install kit # ETBC7. This includes the 7-way socket, wiring and all parts needed to complete the wiring of the Prodigy controller.

I have linked some helpful articles concerning brake controllers as well as a video showing the installation of the # ETBC7 kit in a Tundra,
