Question:
I have a 2013 Toyota Tacoma double cab short bed with the factory off road package. I recently drug my rear bumper and in doing so, smashed the trailer wiring harness plug. All the current wiring is still intact but I need a new plug receptacle. Im having a hard time finding the right one on your website. I would like a plug and play version as opposed to one that I have to completely re wire. Please let me know which part I need. Thank you

There are a couple options depending on the wiring you have on your Tacoma.
If you smashed your 4-way connector on your truck and want to replace the entire wiring harness then I recommend part # 118496. This plugs into the vehicle wiring either behind the tail lights or along the frame rail of your truck. This includes the tail light converter and is a plug and play harness.
If you tore up the 4-way connector you can simply just use a 4-way connector like part # HM48030. You can match the colors of the wires and use butt connectors like part # 05731-5 to attach the wires.
If you had a factory 7-way connector and just need to replace that, I recommend part # A10-7072VP. This will just plug into the factory car connector on your Tacoma.
