What is Easiest Brake Controller Solution for 2020 Toyota Tacoma without Factory Tow Package
Question:
Will this be plug and play with my 2020 Tacoma without a tow package or will I need to do additional work to get this wiring adapter to work with the brake controller? Your site mentions possibly needing to add fuses or relays so wanted to know if I was getting myself into a mess trying to find out what is needed to make it work.

The Curt brake controller install harness part # C51455 does fit your 2020 Toyota Tacoma without the towing package and most likely will require additional relays and fuses for activating the brake controller circuit of your truck but you'd only be able to get those from a Toyota a dealer. An easier option though is to use the Curt Echo Mobile brake controller # C51180 which only needs to plug into an active 7-way and once synced to your smart phone is ready to tow without any additional wiring at all.
I attached a review video for this brake controller for you to check out as well.
