That's unfortunate news.
I found these in the new gen Tundra forum.
I know its a stretch but I'm posting just in case you haven't checked behind this kick panel? And linking that thread at bottom just in case it can help.

If only we had a Toyota tech in this group that we can ask.
Or pay the $25 for a Toyota's 2 day access to all diagnostic diagrams.
I likely will do that but waiting till the truck gets here.

In 2018 I used Hondas version of the same website linked above for 2 day membership and downloaded/printed made a binder of it all before tearing apart a previous vehicle of mine for an aftermarket sound system install. Their diagrams made life so much easier.

I contacted a local dealership yesterday too about trailer brake controller/hidden wiring and their manager and parts department had no idea either.

Lol I know same here. That's zero help., thanks dealership.
Plus it will have similar wording in just about every owner's manual in regard to 3rd party parts. Always go OEM but in our case..is that even an option??
I know it's early days and Solutions will come out but damn it shouldn't be this hard to figure out how to add a brake controller to a truck that comes from factory with a hitch and rated to tow 6400lbs.
