If you plan to activate the brakes of your camper trailer you will need a brake controller installed on your 2020 Toyota Tacoma. When the brake output circuit of a trailer has 12 volts the brakes will lock up so what that calls for is a controller that can ramp up the voltage to match how hard you apply the vehicle brakes so that you get smooth brake applications.
So the 7-way kit part # 22117 is a confirmed fit for your 2020 Toyota Tacoma and since it sounds like you are wanting an easy brake controller install the best option would be the Curt Echo part # C51180 which basically just plugs into an active 7-way and once synced to a smart phone is ready to tow without any additional wiring. The controller is also proportional too which means that it senses how hard you apply the vehicle brakes and applies the trailer brakes in a similar intensity.
