Default Do 03 Tundras have trailer brake controller wiring under dash?

Does Toyota provide the 03 Tundras with the towing package a wire or plug under the dash for a trailer brake controller? This wire would save the hassle of finding the correct brake light wire to tap into. If so, where is it located. Thanks for any help. I talked directly to the Toyota technical department and the girl did not have a clue to what I was talking about.She did not even know what a travel trailer was! Thanks

With the tow package option there is a connector located in the driver's side underdash/footwell area.

Yes this is true, and when you pick up the truck from the dealer they should give you the mating plug with the pigtail harness. You simply connect the wires from the harness to your brake controller and plug in to the connector under the dash.

Thanks for the info. I should have posted my question here first instead of calling Toyota.
