For your 2010 Toyota Tacoma, I highly recommend the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller item # RED24FR. This is a proportional brake controller that activates your trailer's brakes when your Tacoma decelerates. It has a unique installation method where the only visible portion is the control knob that's about the size of a nickel. The main unit is hidden away inside your dash to be completely out of the way and out of sight.
You will need two adapters to connect this controller to your Tacoma without splicing wires. The first is the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers item # 3040-P this will plug directly into your Tacoma's wiring harness.
The second adapter you'll need is the Redarc Tow-Pro Wiring Adapter for Tekonsha Brake Controller Harness item # 331-TPH-017. It will connect the Tekonsha adapter to the Red Arc Liberty Pro item # RED24FR.
The harness you need to install the Brake Controller Adapter item # 3040-P will be located underneath your dash, to left of the steering column, and taped to another harness near the emergency brake pedal.
I attached a picture below that will show you were to find the connector. If you do not have this plug then you do not have the towing package and will need to use the Universal Wiring Harness for Redarc Tow-Pro Trailer Brake Controllers item # RED69FR to complete the installation
