I want to buy a new 7way vehicle side receptacle for my 2006 Toyota Tacoma SR5 V6. It came with a factory tow package installed. What options do I have?

I have an option to add a 7-way trailer connector to your 2006 Tacoma.
There is not a plug-in aftermarket option to add a 7-Way connector to your truck.
To add an aftermarket 7-Way you would need to first install the 4-Way, part # 118496, and then install part # ETBC7.
When working with electrical connectors I recommend using dielectric grease like part # 11755. This keeps dirt and moisture out of the electrical connections and helps prevent corrosion.
I have attached a link to an installation video for the # 118496 harness you can check out. I also attached link to a helpful article for the # ETBC7.
