The manual will also identify the type of connector. If you are familiar with the naming of the terminals you can occasionally track down the actual OEM of the connector. A lot of the connectors in our car are made by Sumitomo or Yazaki which do not have any distribution in the US at small quantities that I have ever been able to find. If the connector is common enough you can find knockoffs. Typically these are found just by using the Toyota part number in the manual I linked to above.
For most connections I have found it is typically easier to purchase terminals from a few sites ( www.cycleterminal.com or www.easternbeaver.com are 2 I use often) and then purchase the actual connector housing from Toyota. This makes a connector housing go from $1-$2 to $10 typically but it doesn't take much of my time trying to track down a source for the connector housing before I can justify just spending the extra to get it from a Toyota dealership.
