I would recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Brake Controller, part # 90885 and wiring harness adapter part # 3040-P for your 2005 Toyota Tacoma with tow package. This is a proportional brake controller that will apply power to the trailer brakes in proportion to the braking action of your vehicle.

The adapter will plug into the back of the brake controller and the other end will plug into the factory brake controller port on your vehicle. There will be an additional white ground wire on the adapter that will need to be grounded.

The factory brake controller port on your Toyota Tacoma will be located underneath and to the left of the steering column. It will be taped to another harness near the emergency brake pedal.

I am including a link to installation instructions on the Prodigy P2 brake controller.
