Yes, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13900 will fit a 2005 -2015 Toyota Tacoma. To properly install the hitch you will use the bolt holes "A" and "C" in the diagram, they will fit existing holes and doesn't require any drilling.

However I have a much better option that I think you'll prefer, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13323. It's custom fit specifically for your Toyota Tacoma so it will install a little easier and not be as much work. It also uses factory holes in the frame so it won't require any drilling either. It has 500 lbs TW and 5,000 lbs GTW, and can be used with weight distribution which bumps the ratings to 550 lbs TW and 5500 lbs GTW.

If you need to complete your towing package I recommend the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118496 for trailer wiring. This will give you a 4 pole flat trailer connector so your trailer will have all the required lights.

If your trailer has brakes, and you need a trailer brake controller, you can use 7-Way RV Upgrade Kit for Trailer Brake Controller Installation # ETBC7L and Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller # C51180.

I really like this brake controller because of the ease of installation and the fact that there's no box to mount to the dash like traditional brake controllers. It's wireless so it uses your smartphone to operate and has an internal sensor to detect your truck slowing down and apply the brakes to the trailer. It only requires 12V power from the 7 way which the # ETBC7L provides. I linked the parts mentioned above and a few videos for you to check out.
