What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

If it has a tow package then it is listed on the window sticker. I don't care what anyone tells me. If it's on the window sticker then it's included. If it's not on the window sticker then it was not built into the truck. If it does not have a factory hitch then it does not have oil and transmission coolers.

 

If you haven't figured this out yet already, I had the same issue, I had to switch two of the wires and then it functioned properly.

Does anybody know the part number of the compatible metal oil canister that can replace the plastic one. I have tried searching for it over and over but apparently I am not worth a crap using the search engine. I even remember seeing it listed below in Products Discussed in this Thread. Thanks

Thank you, I still was looking for it after I did the post.

 

I just ordered mine this morning so it was easy to find.

 

It is only a $650 option IIRC

 

Did you order it at dealership, ebay, Amazon? Thanks again!

 

Dealership, Titus Will Toyota. I ordered a bunch of other things like the header rail for the front of the bed. Discount code TACOMAWORLD takes the price down to $24.01 before shipping.

 

If you have a decent dealership you can get for around $30 bucks and they might install it when doing the oil change mine did.....

 

You just switched the two red wires and it worked? I might have to go give it a try. I just need the light to turn off when the truck is off

 

Made this while at the Office bored today, trucks got 5600 miles on it now and only has this one document.

I'll put my dealer visits up to 45k or 50k, idr how far that South East Toyota toyo guard lasts anymore, in this document. Then when that runs out I'll keep a piece of paper with mileage and date of every mod and maintenance I do from then on out and keep it in the truck.

SET offers that lifetime warranty to "OG" owners I'm gonna make sure they can't go back on that.

 

I'm sorry to hear about this. Unfortunately allot of dealers and sales reps don't know squat about the product they are selling.
I'd say if you plan on using the truck for towing you need a Tacoma with the oem tow package. Adding a hitch is only the first step in prepping your vehicle for towing. The oil coolers are very important and I'd be hesitant to pull anything with out a transmission cooler. It will be pretty expensive to have these installed after the fact because you'll need to buy the plumbing as well as the coolers. Another bit of unfortunate news is the fact that the lower 3500lb tow rating is attached to your VIN regardless of how you prep a non tow package Tacoma.
Bottom line the dealer needs to take it back and make this right. Unfortunately this is probably going to be difficult for you. Good luck!

 

How noticeable was the difference?

 

Added some freedom to the truck today!


And installed LED lights to the interior map and dome lights!

 

Took it exploring

 

I just ordered it from my local dealer... Can be found online for a little cheaper, but with shipping it's a wash.
