    I just picked up my 2013 SR5 tow package Tacoma from the shop.
    They replaced the alternator - installed part 27060-0P020-84 - is that the right alternator?
    I noticed the idle is low - 500-400 when before it was always around 750.

    You could also go through the throttle relearning procedure. It does not hurt

    You could type your Vin number in Toyota parts.com but according to that website, if you scroll down, it fits a 2013 4 L gas engine

    Yes. That is the right alternator

    Are you in gear or in park with the idle at 500 rpm. If in gear, that about normal.

    All tacos with the towing package will have the higher amperage alternator,
