    Hello all
    Thanks for adding me, I am a first time Tacoma owner I have a 2017 TRD sport dcsb so far loving it. I went down and got the tsb shifting and surging update and am liking it a lot better. Will be towing a 3400 pound trailer so will be needing a tranny temp ( probably a scan gage 11 ) I have after market shocks and tpok it for a test and it did better than expected towing it. Anyway thanks have enjoyed all the info on the forum.

    Does it have the Toyota Towing Package? if so it has the Transmission cooler (should have) however you can check to see all of the Factory / Port installed option by going to the Toyota Owner's website and entering your Vin number under the Vehicle specs - https://www.toyota.com/owners/

    2017 Double Cab Sport
    Hey Bobby-b. I was wondering if you could help me out with some info on towing.

    I have basically the same rig, 2017 TRD Sport DblCab Long bed. I do not have the factory tow package. The Dealership installed a 4 pin and a IV Receiver hitch. I just wired up a 7pin and trailer brake.

    I'm going to be towing a JayCo Kiwi that weighs right around 3000lbs dry. I thought it towed fine when i bought it but noticed the rear suspension was pretty soft and now i'm reading all these threads about needing an additional tranny cooler, larger battery, 130 amp alternator and oil cooler.

    Just wondering how your truck is performing towing 3400lbs? Any issues with tranny temps when you tow long distances? Do you notice the bounce when towing in the rear shocks? Did you upgrade them?

    I'm thinking up upgrading the shocks or installing some airbags to help with the sag but right now i'm more concerned with damaging the transmission if i'm towing further than 200miles without the tranny cooler.

    Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.
