What 7-Way Wiring Harness Recommendation Do You Have for My 2022 Toyota Tacoma?
Question:
What 7-way do I need to tow a trailer on my 2022 Toyota Tacoma?

Expert Reply:
For a 7-way for your 2022 Toyota Tacoma, you first need to have a 4-way harness installed on your truck. If you determine that your vehicle does not have a 4-way, you will need the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56349. The Curt T-Connector includes a powered converter to ensure that your vehicle's wiring matches that of your trailer.
After you have the 4-way installed, you are ready for the 7-way. For the 7-way harness, you need the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller - 7-Way RV and 4-Way Flat # ETBC7 in addition to the T-Connector. With this harness, you will have the ability to add a brake controller in addition to your turn signal/brake lights on your trailer.
To add a brake controller, I recommend the Tekonsha Voyager # 39510 or the Curt Echo # C51180. Both of these controllers are proportional controllers which means that the controller activates the trailer brakes in proportion to your vehicle's braking action. The Voyager is more of a traditional-style controller than requires mounting into the dashboard of your vehicle near the steering wheel. On the other hand, the Curt Echo allows you to control the settings of your controller with the ease of your Smart device.
If you need help installing any of these accessories, I went ahead and linked walk-through videos to guide you through the process.
