Hey Danny, for your 2005 Toyota 4Runner I recommend going with the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195 with the vehicle specific wiring harness # 3040-P.

This brake controller is compatibler with up to 8 brake assemblies, electric over hydrualic / electric brakes, and has an auto leveling feature that lets you mount it in any orientation.
