I'd be happy to help you out! Here are the parts I recommend for towing a trailer with your 2006 Toyota Tundra:
- etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e87KR
- Curt Powered Tail Light Converter # C59236
- Mounting Brackets # 18144 and # 18136
If the trailer you need to tow is a little more on the heavy side then you also need a brake controller and for that I recommend the following:
- Universal Installation Kit # ETBC7
- Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller # RED24FR
- Wiring Harness # RED69FR
- Mounting Panel for Tundra # 331-TPSI-007
I really like the Liberty because it's a lot smaller than the standard "brick-style" controller and Redarc has their specific mounting panel so it even looks like it's from the factory on your Tundra.
Attached are some videos for you to check out!
