Brake Controller Connector and Recommendation for a 2005 Toyota Tacoma with Tow Package

Question:
I would say I have a generation 1 2005 Tacoma with a factory tow package. Any idea if it needs specific connections or does it clip into the truck easily? Truck is stock condition. No aftermarket modifications were ever made.

Expert Reply:
If your 2005 Toyota Tacoma has the factory tow package then you can use the Custom Wiring Adapter # 3040-P and Redarc Adapter # 331-TPH-017 to install the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty # RED52VR and avoid splicing into any wiring on your truck. If you have the accessory panels on your truck you can also use the Mounting Panel # 331-TPSI-007 to give your install a custom look.
Attached is a photo from the instructions for the adapter so you can see where the plug should be located. IT shouldn't be connected into anything already but will be taped up with a bundle of other wires so that connector you show in your second photo wouldn't be what you're needing.
Attached is a review video of the Liberty for you to check out. If you don't have the tow
