    Hi new here

    Located in MD and have a 2017 TRD Off Road w/o towing package. Im wondering if anyone else has had any experience installing the Tekonsha OEM replacement wiring harness for 7way trailer connector https://www.etrailer.com/Custom-Fit-Vehicle-Wiring/Toyota/Tacoma/2017/22117.html?vehicleid=201761705. I have seen a few posts of people looking for help wiring up a 7/4 way trailer connector to have a clean look in the bumper but I haven't seen any success stories. I was thinking of utilizing the harness in the link above and wiring it into the back of the 7/4way connector and was curious if anyone has attempted or completed an install of this harness.

    there is a thread with many posts ("Trailer brake controller?") see post #9 on harness fitment. simple process - behind the driver side kick panel. search for the thread as it has many pics on install options.

    That harness is 100% plug and play........couldn't be easier. The plug is located up under the dash just yo the left of the drivers dead pedal. The plug is white. Can't miss it

    I think the op has a turck with out a tow package and is looking at installing the wires cleanly in the bumper? If this is correct I think it’s a little more the looking behind the kick plate. I had uhaul install a hitch and wiring wiring on my old 2.7l with out a tow package it was about as clean as you could get.
