Recommended 4-Way and 7-Way Trailer Wiring for 2018 Toyota Tacoma
Question:
I have two trailers - 1 with a 4flat and 1 with a 7blade. What can I add to my 2018 Tacoma to tow both without using adapters? I dont want any extra pieces to plug in when I switch trailrs.

We have just what you need. Part # 22117 is a custom 7-way designed for your 2018 Toyota Tacoma. It's partially plug and play, connecting behind both tail lights of the truck. The rest of the wiring is then run towards the front. I've linked the install details as well as an article on running the wiring.
Then to get a 4-way as well without using any extra adapters you can use part # HM40920 in place of the connector that comes with the harness. It'll plug right into the harness without an issue and give you both a 4-way and a 7-way for a nice, clean, factory look.
