Replying to: tuttie01 (Mar 10, 2009 4:21 pm) The maximum Gross Combined Weight Rating of any 2009 Tacoma is 11,100 pounds (when equipped with the trailer package, V6, automatic). This is the total weight of truck, trailer, hitch, people, and cargo. Maximum trailer weight is 6500.   The truck alone weighs about 4100. Add in the weight of the people and the gear you're carrying. Then see if the trailer you're interested in will fit your available remaining weight.   kcram - Pickups/Wagons Host

#78 of 82 09 Tacoma PreRunner DC No Tow Package - Help by squirrel67 May 29, 2009 (3:34 pm)
Hello All,   Here's my situation...I purchased an 09 PreRunner with out the tow package. I had no plans of ever towing anything over 3500 lbs. Things have changed and I would love to have the tow package now. I've called two local dealers, only to be told that the full package (oil & tranny coolers, 130 amp alternator, class IV receiver, 7-pin harness & heavy duty battery) can't be installed completely. Seems only the receiver and harness are all they can do, at a cost of $550. Dang, the package goes for $650! A Toyota service manager stated that I could tow more than the recommended if I were to not use overdrive, why is that? The trailer weight I'm hoping to tow is 5000 lbs, well over the 3500 limit. Would not towing in overdrive make it safe for the tranny and engine? What if I towed with a WD hitch? The last thing I want to do is cause damage to the truck, among other things, safety. Besides buying another Tacoma with the package does anyone have suggestions?   Thanks.

Hello, I have 2007 Toyota 4X4, 4.0, V6, double cab, short bed truck without the tow package. I need some advise on how to add the tow package, because I recently bought a 1993 Layton Travel Trailer which weighs 4,000 lbs. After reading the forum, I think I will need to buy and add the following to my truck: 1. supplemental engine oil cooler, 2. transmission cooler- with a small radiator in front of the regular engine radiator, 3. new 130 amp alternator for the trailer electric brakes, 4. heavy duty battery, and 5. class IV receiver (trailer has 6 wire). How much will all this cost?

#81 of 82 Towing Package by ray85 Jul 15, 2009 (1:10 pm)
I'm looking to buy an '05 or newer Taco and need to insure it has a towing package. I know there's a way to look at the fan hub and tell from the color if it's equipped with the heavy duty radiator and such. My problem is I don't know which color hub is to look for. Any help out there? Thanks Ray

Replying to: kdea (Apr 25, 2006 6:32 pm) Anyway, my understanding is you just plug in the connector under the dash, and then connect the loose wires on the other end to the brake controller. Also I want say this.
