    Yep, it uses the yaw sensor in the stability control system to know the truck is swaying.

    I believe these 3 are oil, trans and power steering coolers. I have the factory tow package on my 17.

    It's the finned tube that runs by the radiator.

    oh no shit. well would you look at that! Neat, glad to see they added that extra cooling of the fluids is always a good thing.

    I stand corrected!

    new member here, just bought my first Tacoma a few days ago. Just wanted to say thanks for this thread--it has been surprisingly difficult to answer the simple question of whether my truck has the tow package or not. The toyota owner's site, when I plugged in my VIN, doesn't list it as included. But by the helpful pictures above, it appears have all those extra bits. Could not see enough of the alternator to know if that is the right one. So I ended up going to a dealership today and they looked it up in their system--the initial answer was no, didn't appear to have it. But then the service advisor went to a couple other locations to look this crap up, and finally found evidence that the tow package was included in my particular vehicle at purchase...so I'm a happy camper after sweating some bullets
