Towing package for 2016 and 2017 TRD Off-Road 4x4

Helllo,

I'm new to the Tacoma world and am looking at either a 2016 or 2017 TRD Off Road 4x4. I can't see to get a clear answer on the towing package. For either of these years does the towing package come automatically or is that something you would have had to order? It looks like 2018 on up they automatically come with it.

Thanks,
Mike

 

2016-17 the towing package was an option, starting in 2018 towing package became standard with the V6.

 

You can always check the VIN at https://www.toyota.com/owners/my-vehicle/vehicle-specification to see how it was built.

 

I'd bet odds that as an OR, it came with towing. 5:3 odds.

 

My off road came standard with it.

 

It was an option on 16-17 models but most 4wd OR’s had it as it was listed as optional equipment for $650.

 

It was an option for those years. Most dealers ordered it for all of their trucks. The transmission/oil cooler is a pain to install afterwards and well worth the low price of the towing package.

 

Thanks everyone for all the responses. As it turns out I just picked up a fully loaded 2018 TRD Off Road 4x4. It's my first Toyota so I'm excited about getting it.

 

Congrats!!

 

Is the factory tranmission oil cooler inadequate? I see comments about adding an after market one?
