The Blue Ox TrackPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control # BLU36FR you referenced would make a great addition on your 2012 Toyota Tundra. To determine your setup's total tongue weight you will need to measure the tongue weight of your Lance 2075 loaded with the cargo you plan on carrying with a scale like the etrailer Trailer Tongue Weight Scale # e99044 and add any additional weight added behind the axle on your vehicle. I included the video review for the etrailer Trailer Tongue Weight Scale # e99044 and a helpful article for finding your total tongue weight.

If your total tongue weight ends up being over the 600lb maximum of the Blue Ox TrackPro # BLU 36FR I recommend the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control # FA92-00-1000 which allows for 600lb - 1000lb tongue weight. I included the video review for the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control # FA92-00-1000 for you to take a look at.

For a electric brake controller I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 which has an easy to read LCD screen and storeable settings if your trailer varies in weight from trip to trip. You will also need the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers - Toyota and Lexus # 3040-P which will plug into the factory 5-pin connector near your parking brake pedal and into the back of the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195. I included a video of this controller being installed in a 2013 Toyota Tundra for you to take a look at.
