    Yep. Some dealers will install a "tow package", but it is always aftermarket and usually the Curt setup. Has been this way since the beginning, and I even think the Towing Bible on here mentions that.

    So instead of rigging something up, I'm going to just wait a while and see if toyota catches up to the demand...I know for a fact that I was the 4th person today at my dealership asking to have this addressed.

    BTW, I also know that they are using the addition of a hitch in negotiating price with customers as a bonus...I think it is biting the sales people in the butt now when the are seeing that it is way easier said than done...I'll check back in later with a post if things change

    Will the plug and harness from a 2017 fit?

    Maybe not as easy as you think the bumper is integrated with the hitch . Get ready to take the bumper apart and assemble it to your hitch . They are not separate. Or pay someone to do it .

    It also isn't just a small piece of harness. The truck itself is missing the wires in body harness on up.

    But a trailer place can do what he needs without replacing the entire body harness. It's not the end of the world.

    If the vehicle was in a accident then the body shop would be able to buy the part in order to fix the Truck. Don’t ask me how I know. LOL

    Uhaul has me out the door less than 400...toyota dealer wants 700 so they can rig something into the bumper slot...no thanks!

    I'm going to wait and see if demand will drive a change by toyota...All I'm asking if for them to sell me a part they have always sold before!!!!!????

    Sorry it's not working out as you'd like.

    But the aftermarket 'fix' is no big deal. Basically it's the same as whatever a dealer will come up with, for less $.

    Mostly because you aren't going to get all the real goodies that come with an OE tow package with either solution.
