There unfortunately is not a factory brake controller plug-in port behind the dash of your 2019 Toyota Tundra so a brake controller like the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite # RED44FR would just need to be hardwired.

If you are concerned with the extra wiring and time it would take to install a controller in this manner then I recommend taking a look at the Curt Echo # C51180. This is a unique controller that simply gets plugged into the 7-Way connector at the rear of your truck and pairs to your smart phone via Bluetooth. And that's it. The controller only needs the 12V circuit to be active on the 7-Way and because your phone is what is used to adjust any settings or activate the manual override you won't need to mount another component or wire anything inside the cab.

This is really the perfect solution for applications like this. Because it just connects to the 7-Way it's also extremely easy to transfer it to other tow vehicles.

I have attached a short video demonstration as well as you can see exactly how it works.
