What exactly comes with the towing package? Salespeople aren’t too clear about it and just say ‘you’re good.’ If it includes a hitch and 7-pin connector, does it also come with a bigger alternator or an oil cooler? I’m looking to get an SR5 with the Upgrade Package, which has an integrated brake controller. Is that part of the towing package? Any first-hand info would be really helpful!
I don’t know about the 4th generation, but my 2021 model has the tow package and doesn’t come with an electronic brake controller. The package included a 4-pin and 7-pin connector along with the hitch as far as I know.

I got a plug-and-play brake controller kit for about $130, with the harness included. It was easy to install. If you need the link, let me know and I can find it for you.
My 2019 model has the tow package but no brake controller. I added a Redarc brake controller and it wasn’t too hard to set up.
Did they still include a transmission cooler in the 2nd generation models?

Early 3rd generation models had it, but the later ones don’t.
It depends on the model year. Around 2018 or 2019, the standard tow package was integrated into regular equipment. Before that, you could get a package with upgraded cooling components and an alternator. Now, it’s more about optional add-ons like brake controllers. Pretty sure the 7-pin connector is standard on all trims except maybe the SR model.
Sorry, I should have mentioned I’m looking at a new purchase. I didn’t want to find out there’s more to the package than just the hitch. I already have a brake controller on the trailer, so I might just sell it or not use it. A transmission cooler would be nice, but maybe that’s already included.

Thanks Google AI! But the person who posted this was looking for the actual specs, not just a vague reply.
