    In Canada all the 4x4 doublecab models come with the tow package. This includes hitch, bigger alternator, oil/trans cooler, 2 types of pins etc...plus a "heavy duty battery". So I looked and my battery is a group 24F, 582 cold cranking amps. That doesn't sound like heavy duty to me. Anyone in Canada get a 4x4 doublecab with a bigger battery on delivery?

    Yes, I can always upgrade, but it bugs me they advertise on the website saying "heavy duty" is standard.2017-05-30.jpg

    If you go into your average hardware store, half the cheap Chinese junk tools are labelled "Heavy Duty". I really wish that term would go away, as it it useless as a gauge of anything.
