    2017 tacoma access cab TRD Off Road
    Hello everyone...If I may I would like to ask our well informed members the following: I have a 2017 Tacoma TRD Off Road 4x4 Access Cab. How can I determine if I have the V6 Tow Package. Also, if I do have the tow package should my battery be a 24F or 27F? Thanks for your help.

    Enter your VIN here and it will tell you what's on your truck:

    If you look under the section titled "Port or Factory Installed Equipment", there should be a line that says "TO V6 Tow Package" - "Factory" If you have the tow package.

    Look at the drivers side front of your radiator, if you have a small, black mini radiator looking thing, that is your trans cooler, you should also have the hitch on the back too. Your sale paper should also have all equipment listed.

    So, if that is the trans cooler, where is the oil cooler?

    Also, where is the power steering cooler?

    Unless the 3rd gens added that (which i highly doubt as they use all the same radiator components at the 2nd) id say its likely a typo.

    Regulates brake pressure at the individual wheels to compensate for the trailer sway. Similar to stability control, but it knows a trailer is connected and will operate accordingly.

    It's on my 2018 OR window sticker as well. That pic is from someone else, so it would seem to be more of a false advertising issue than a typo if what you say is true.
