There aren't going to be any real functional differences between the Prodigy P2 # 90885 and the Prodigy P3 # 90195; both provide proportional braking and both have a 3 axis accelerometer so that they can be mounted in a 360 range vertically and still sense the braking in your truck. The Prodigy P3 has a nicer LCD display and it's a bit easier to cycle through the different settings and functions, so I do recommend going with the P3 # 90195. If you're looking for an entry level, no frills controller that still is reliable and provides smooth, proportional braking then the P2 # 90885 would also work.

Since your 2011 Tacoma has the factory 7 way installed you can use the # 3040-P adapter to give you a plug and play installation.

I've linked some an installation video for you to have a look at that shows the process, which will be the same for either controller.
