Electric brake controller

[Drnick]

Is there a provision to install an electric brake controller for a trailer under the dash?
I had a 2016 GMC Sierra which came with the harness and had a connector under the dash.

Yes. It is located behind the driver trim panel below the dash in the footwell.

Is there a harness that I can buy from Toyota? All my previously owned pick ups
Came with harness.

I'm looking at one of these right now as well. I'm not sure I see the difference between what @jchooley13 suggested and something much cheaper like this:

Thanks for all the info, when I look under dash, I see only one connector , which I believe is for the data port, is there another connector ?, maybe behind the kick panel?

is there a dedicated block connector for the 4 pin connector that comes with controller?

The "screw" is the plastic thing on the footwell and yes the sill needs to come up as the kick panel has 1 snap into it.

Controllers do not usually come with the vehicle specific harness, you would need to purchase that separately based on model year, but most Toyota adapters have remained the same for quite a while.
