Hey Deanna, the brake controller I recommend for your 2005 Toyota Tundra is the Redarc Tow Pro Liberty part # RED24FR as it only puts a small knob on the dash of your truck and uses an inertia sensor to determine how hard you are hitting the brakes for applying the trailer brakes. To wire it to your truck all you need is the correct install harness which is part # RED49FR.

@Deanna Ignore that. I am not sure why it says that as the brake controller can basically be made to fit any vehicle.
