Don't do what you're gonna do. The truck has an electrical that requires an adaptor. Look around in different parts stores- prices are hi 70s for the part in a NAPA to 30 bucks at Tractor Supply. You'll smoke the wiring without this thing.
Comes with a nice set of plug-in connectors, no cutting, clean and nice.

Yep, joetc5 is right, you're gonna smoke your electrical is you don't buy the adaptor, and it's soo easy.

Re: Hooking trailer lights up to the truck?

Which lights cut off when you brake? Do you have a plug for hooking trailer lights? Provide as much information as possible.

The Tacoma has 3-wire turn signals. You will want to run a single wire from the Tacoma brake lights to the trailer brake lights, and a separate wire from each Tacoma signal light to each trailer turn signal. This will allow you to install yellow signals on the trailer.
