tow package

i want a tow package for my 98 tacoma, any suggestions on where to look? and how would you wire it up, which plug ? thanks

 

There's is more to a tow pkg than a wiring plug, you may be talking a bigger radiator, cooling fan,trans cooler, a hitch class I, II, or III, with or with out a sway bar, tongue weight ect, this all depends on what you intend to tow.

 

uhaul sells a wiring kit for 12 bucks

transmission cooler this one is excellent but there are many more coolers out there that are much cheaper!

and get yourself a good hitch.

 

I added a class III hidden hitch to mine, there's a neat wiring harness that plugs into your tail lights and directionals and gives you a 4 pin connection. If you need a brake controller, this kit won't work for you, you'll have to wire one of those up to a 7 pin. In my opinion, unless you do a lot of heavy towing over long distances, adding a transmission oil cooler isn't worth the project.

 

As far as where to look, you can go to a local auto parts store, Autoanything.com, JC Whitney, etc. I'd stick with a reputable brand for hitches though, that's a part you don't want to fail on you. Hidden Hitch, UHaul, Reese, etc.

 

Yeah I'm pretty set on a hidden hitch, they look pretty clean. And I'm not gonna do any coolers because I just want it for towing small stuff.

 

What color is on your fan pulley assm. Green means you have the tow package

 

Somebody put a Class V (10,000lbs) hitch on my 96 that had a 4cyl...idiot. My 01 has a III i believe. Wiring is easy.
