Do I Have the Tow Package?

I bought my Taco second hand, so I don’t have the original window sticker.

A thread and manual search didn’t give me the answer I’m looking for.

Is there a definitive way to know if your truck has the tow package?

 

Open the hood and look for a small transmission oil cooler in front of your radiator!

Similar to this:

 

Easy and definitive!

I have the package.

Thanks!

 

You're welcome man, anytime!

 

Unless someone just added a tranny cooler.

 

If you got the factory Hitch with 7 Pin Trailer Connector & the transmission cooler its highly unlikely someone just added a cooler!

 

I wasn't referencing every part, just if all you check to see is if you have a cooler, you might just have a cooler.

 

Check the certification label on driver-side door post... if GCVR is only 3500 lb. more than GVWR, you don't have tow package. If GCVW is 6500 ~ 6700 lb. more than GVWR you do have tow package.

 

I checked my 2014 Taco for this info; it lists a GVWR of 5500 lbs, but does NOT show GCVR nor GCVW. Is it listed somewhere else?

 

Im lost too, i know i have tow package, but dont see this gcvr

Or i am not doing it right?

 

Google gcvr.

 

If you look at a 2014 tacoma brochure, if you have a 2.7, you don't have a factory tow package. It wasn't offered, 3500lb rating.

The pakage was optional on the v6,

TOWING,23 MAXIMUM (lb.) (SAE J2807 towing rating-compliant)

Some dealers installed hitches, Called it a tow package. Some would do a hitch and a cooler, do the same.

 

OK, so there's a typo; GCVR should be GCVW. Still don't have the info, though.
