Even you don't purchase the towing package, Toyota already pre run the wire to a lower left side under bottom of your truck. There is a black rubber piece covered it. You pull this out then you can see a connector. You don't need to cut or modify anything. There are 2 things require to make this work. 1) purchase the harness wiring from Toyota on the Web, pull the black rubber piece, plug harness in. 2) purchase one factory relay , open a fuse box next to the battery and plug this relay in and you are ready to go. There are 2 harness cables you can purchase from TOYOTA Web. The round one with 7 pins cost around $75. The flat one with 4 pins cost around $40. Relay cost $25. This will save you a lot of money. I did it myself 2 years ago for my 2003 Seq and my friend 2005 TOY recently. I also purchase Drawtide hitch for $125 at a local RV dealer.
Towing wiring harness Part number is 82169-34012
The relays part number is 9098702012

I did this this weekend on my 04 SR5 2WD. I found the prerun wire and ordered the harness and relay. This weekend I installed the harness and relay (took a whole 5 minutes). But when I plugged it in to a trailer none of the lights worked. When I tested the pins with my meter it was registering that it was working. So I'm a little baffled. I performed the same meter test on my other truck with the same results. I haven't hook my other truck up to the trailer yet though.
Any thoughts?
