2009 infamous "sticker", you got one?

mine was made in California on june 08. bought in canada. i have a 2009 dc sport 4x4 with the tow package. it came with the 4 leaf pack, so so sticker on reduced pay load.

 

x2

The ride has been good for me. I don't want to take a chance of getting a harsher rider either.

When I do get my quad or motobike. I will then decide if its worth while to get the TSB done. Hopefully, this sticker thing isn't a way of Toyota weaseling out on the 09'.

 

PROPS FOR THOSE THAT BOUGHT CALIFORNIA MADE!!!

I live right near that plant and they're closed down for the month but when they open up again, I'm definitely going to take a tour and see some Taco's in the building process! I may even snag pics...

 

I'm curious.. although I have an 05 I'm curious what exactly that sticker says?? Anyone have a closeup shot they can post?

I don't see anywhere on the Toyota web site where things are different either.
I have a 05 DC 4x4 with the tow package the 09 lists as follows:

GVWR = 5450 (Same as the 05)
Curb Weight = 4155 (05 says 4100)
GCWR = 11,100# (same as 05)

Do the math GVWR - Curb Weight = 1295 (the 05 = 1350) so where's the 290 pound difference listed on the sticker? I only calculate 55# based on the specs number... Not to mention.. where's the extra weight coming from on the 09 models?

 

California 6/08 build, no sticker

 

I have an '09 WITH tow package and NO sticker.

 

My 09 Access, 4 cyl manual, (no towing package) sticker says "original capacity reduced by 290 lbs". I just thought it was the additional weight of the access cab and longer frame, more glass, more etc that reduced the capacity.

 

My bad. I assumed Canada becuse my window sticker said
" plant origin-BC " I knew Toyota had a plant in British columbia but I found out that its not for Tacoma. I saw on the net that tacomas built in Mexico are from Baha California, Mexico. I now know what the BC stands for and also my V.I.N.# starts with 3.

 

'09 Access, CA build June 08, tow package, 3 pack and NO sticker.
TSB being done week of 03/16

Did they install the tranny an oil coolers along with the hitch, or just the hitch? =

 

At least for 09 the towing package included an oil and transmission cooler.

 

That's too funny!
Everyone up here knows nothing gets made in BC except "BC Bud."

 

I have the tow package, and mine has the sticker...

But, if need be, I'll buy some better springs down the road...

BTW, what is the payload capacity for my DC SB TRD Offroad?

 

I have the trd off road with the tow pak and its there kinda sucks. But its one more reason for me to get the ICON stage 3 now if my wife would just see it that way.

 

It always has.

 

04/08-No sticker..

 

09 DC, LB, 4x4, TRD Sport, Tow Package, picked up new 2/13/09. I do have the yellow sticker.

 

Same on mine- same truck. I looked on my door jamb and answered the poll, "No." Then yesterday afternoon I saw the sticker on the outside - like yours. I also like the ride and have no plans to stiffen things up. My biggest load will be twoing a 2500 lb boat.

 

I know the factory tow package does, but was wondering if the dealer installed deal was the same. I was told by a salesman, when I was shopping around, that they would install the hitch, but not the tranny cooler, oil cooler, or larger alternator. I ended up getting one with the factory package, but I'm wondering if the salesman was lying about that too.
