    In a recent 3/4 ton truck, yeah.  In a "3/8ths ton" like a Tacoma, 
though?  I've never seen that.  Other than a new F150, I'm not sure you 
can even buy a 1/2 ton with a factory controller... and you couldn't even 
do that until this model year or last.

    One way or another, you'll need wiring for a controller.  If you can 
get the dealer to do it, I would.
