    Yes, that's what I was asking @Cooldood, if his is coming with the tow package or not.

    No worries! I only thought of asking since my Tacoma is a base 2wd, so no tow hitch. It should be illegal to sell a truck without one honestly. I've definitely pushed the limits on the bumper ball capacity...

    I see way to many come in with the ball bent out about 25°.
    I tell them they need to stop towing cause that bumper is getting weaker.
    “It’s fine” they say.

    I've yet to do that, but I have seen trucks with the entire bumper cocked at that angle. Last one I asked, and he said "hit the brakes too hard with my boat on the back. Still tows fine though!"

    I was putting on the siding when the roofers did the roof. If the siding falls off that’s on me. I have tractor implements if you ever find yourself in need of a bush hog, box blade, and a 4 ft tiller.

    No worries, it's the little things that get us! If you're planning on towing that trailer from a bumper ball, it's definitely going to have a bit of angle.... I'd highly suggest getting a proper hitch first and going from there. Welcome to TW by the way!

    I wouldn't know what you're talking about at allll! Totally didn't tow 25 foot snowmobile trail drags on a dual axle trailer in a snowstorm with it either... thankfully there's no photographic evidence to show otherwise! :rofl:35773CC2-DA28-4B34-BA82-E20DDAD6A736.jpg

    The dashboard mounted USB port that you use for Android Auto/Apple Carplay, according to the manual can be "split" using a hub. I want a thumb drive left in for music, and be able to plug my phone in when I need Android auto. I'd prefer to put my phone in the center console storage when its plugged in, so I'm going to split the USB and run one back to the center console. I'll post in the appropriate thread if it works. Wish me luck!

    Yeah, that's holding on just fine. The roofers just cheaped out, is all. Strapping across the trusses is ok, but their gaps are too large and it's cheap pine, so there's too much flex and the gaskets on the roofing screws have cracked & disappeared as a result. A full re-roof with the proper materials is on the agenda, but...$$

    I'll keep that in mind on the implements; I've got a straight blade but a box is handier sometimes. I wouldn't want to run a tiller in my soil, though. Too bony :laugh:

    I know that a lot of the Sure-Tracs have an adjustable hitch height, which may make up the difference. If not, a drop hitch would cover it. Just don't get too much drop; these Tacoma's squat pretty easily, and you want to shoot for the trailer to be level when it's loaded, not when it's empty.
    Congrats on the new whip, too. :thumbsup:

    And congrats to you, also.

    People must be getting their stimulus checks :laugh:
