Hey Craig! The Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller # RED82CR you were looking at is the best option for your 2010 Toyota Tundra. The Liberty is simple, reliable, and doesn't take up space in the cab of your truck. This comes with a custom wiring harness for a plug and play installation. It also comes with a mounting panel so you can install the knob in one of the blank knockout locations.

What are you typically hauling in your cargo trailer?

I have a 4Runner and installed it in one of the empty auxiliary slots to the left side of the dash. The brake assist was super easy to install as I’m a guy who isn’t very handy.

I used the redarc on my 2010 Tacoma. It was plug and play and relatively easy to install. Unfortunately, I didn't have any blanks available to the left so I had to use the center button area below the climate control and cubby and modify one of those blanks. the hardest part was locating the factory plug on the left above the parking brake pedal. Mine happen to be pretty high and a little buried. Still, overall, happy with the product.

@MikeA appreciate you sharing your experience. That factory plug can definitely be tucked up out of sight, but once you find it the plug-and-play harness makes the rest of the installation pretty straightforward.
