    Hi folks, in the market for a 2014 to 2018. Does the base model include an integrated brake controller? Coming from a Honda Ridgeline where I had to buy a brake controller to connect to a factory installed harness.

    I've noticed that all Tundras seem to have the tow / haul button, but looking at pictures there are some that have the actual brake controller buttons (+, -, type), and some that do not.

    For a full size truck, I would be surprised if even the base model does not provide electronic braking through the 7 pin connector.

    Looking for confirmation here.

    Thanks a bunch!

    Think I got my answer from the below video. "Since the 2016 model year, every Tundra equipped with the 5.7 Liter i-Force V8 engine, has also included an integrated trailer brake controller system, standard"

    Thanks for the response VTL, you pointed me in the right direction.
