    I want to get a higher ouput alternator but not sure what to get or if I even need it for my auxillary lights. How many amps does the stock alternator putout on a 2002 tacoma 4x4, sr5, trd?

    The factory spec rating for a 2002 generator is only 60A, according to the FSM.

    A heavier-duty generator (sometimes listed as 90A; sometimes as 80A) was available with the factory Tow Package. This heavier-duty generator was also included in a 'Cold Weather Package' that was not listed in the sales literature, but was available in some northern states.
