Third gen tow hitch

Does the 2021 taco sport come with tow hitch? Is it rated for the max tow capacity? I’m seeing posts of people buying the tow package, I didn’t even see it when building my taco online.

 

yes came with hitch. I believe max load is like 6k lbs.

 

Was it an option or does it come standard?

 

standard as far as I know. Mind you, you need to buy the ball part yourself.

 

I tow 4k lbs about three to four times a year and just want to be prepared.. this is why i’m asking (refer to pic)

 

I believe all v6 engine Tacoma's have a tow package. It was standard on my 2020 SR5 V6. It doesn't include the electric brake controller but it's pre wired for you to get one and plug it in. You will need the correct size ball for your trailer. 1-7/8" or 2" is what most trailers you will tow with a Tacoma will use.

 

v6 comes with tow package

 

Thanks guys

 

Note that the specs say "UP TO" 6,800 lbs. Each trim level has slightly different maximums.
I suspect it is based on Maximum Combined Gross Vehicle Weight.
