got the brake controller. there is NO plug in the area that is shown in the owner's manual. in area of switch for 110 volts. my mechanic and two Toyota service personnel also searched under the kick panel and to the left of the steering column. controller dealer had assorted photos supposedly showing location but that was for a key start dash, not button. seemed to be right of steering column but photos didn't look like back of radio, et.Has anybody here found the location on a toyota tacoma limited push button start ?I should add that this is a 2016thanksbumpy

This one is not a limited but is a 2016 does say it's not where the instructions say:https://www.etrailer.com/question-152303.htmlIt looks to be behind the panel just right of the steering wheel?

took another look at my dash. the piece shown in that post is shorter than mine, and mine has an air duct on the left end which is not shown in that picture. but since it about has to be there, will have the mechanic blast his way past the radio. :)emailed toyota with limited hope. :)bumpy

well I heard back from Toyota. they claim that the plug is under the left kick panel and that the drawing on page 178 shows that. that drawing is totally unclear. two Toyota mechanics and my mechanic tore into that area and did NOT find the socket. the photos of Etrailer certainly were of the dash, not the kick panel.re-sent a post to Toyota asking clarification but that is unlikely to prove satisfactory.bumpy

Huh, weird. I responded to your other thread, but basically if the truck has a normal brake light switch on the pedal, installing a controller without the plug n play is still pretty easy. Will cost you a couple hours shop time though if you can't do it yourself.
