Do all tundras come with tow package?

Not every Toyota Tundra includes a tow package as standard. Tow features are typically optional and vary by trim and model year, so check the exact configuration on the build sheet for the Tundra you’re considering.

The Tow Package on a Tundra generally refers to equipment that makes towing easier and safer, such as a hitch receiver, trailer wiring harness, and often a trailer brake controller. Which of these items are included, and whether they’re standard or optional, depends on the model year and trim level.

How tow packages are offered by trim and year

Below is a general guide showing how the Tow Package typically appears across trims and model years. Note that exact contents can change with Toyota's packaging for each new generation or refresh, so always verify with the official Toyota build sheet or a dealership for your specific vehicle.

• Base and entry trims (e.g., SR): Tow functionality is usually not standard; may be added as an optional Tow Package depending on the year and market.


• Mid-range trims (e.g., SR5): Tow Package is often available as an option and may be necessary to reach higher towing capacities.


• Higher trims (e.g., Limited, Platinum, 1794 Edition, TRD Pro): Tow Package availability varies; some may bundle towing hardware with other options, or offer it as standard on certain configurations.

The above guidance helps buyers anticipate whether a given Tundra will have towing equipment included or if they need to request or assemble the Tow Package during ordering.

Where to verify for your specific build

Because Toyota frequently updates trims and option bundles, the most reliable source is the official build sheet for the exact model year and trim you’re considering. A Toyota dealership can confirm whether a Tow Package is included, optional, or unavailable for your configured Tundra, and they can describe the components included in the package for that year.

Summary

In short, not all Toyota Tundras come with a tow package by default. Tow-related equipment is typically offered as an option on many trims and model years, while certain higher trims may include towing features as part of standard or bundled packages. Always confirm with the dealer or official Toyota materials for the exact year and trim you’re evaluating to ensure the towing setup you need is included or available.

How do I know if my truck came with a tow package?

You can tell if your truck has a tow package by visually inspecting for a hitch receiver and a seven-way trailer connector, checking the original window sticker or by using your VIN to look up the vehicle's build sheet. Other signs include heavy-duty shocks and springs or a trailer brake controller.
 
Visual inspection

• Look for a hitch receiver: Check the rear bumper for a square-shaped receiver tube that a hitch can slide into. If you see a hitch ball already attached, that's a sign, but even just the receiver indicates a factory or dealer-installed package. 
• Check for a trailer connector: Look for a round seven-way plug or a combination 4- and 7-pin outlet, usually near the hitch receiver. This connector is used for trailer lights, brakes, and power. 
• Examine the bumper: On some models, the factory hitch receiver is a snap-in part that can be covered by a panel, while aftermarket hitches are often exposed below the bumper. 
• Look for other hardware: Check for heavy-duty rear shocks and springs, which are part of some factory packages.

Documentation and codes

• Check the original window sticker (Monroney label): The sticker, if you still have it, will list all the factory-installed options, including the tow package. 
• Use the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN): A VIN lookup is the most definitive way to know. You can use a VIN decoder online or take the VIN to a dealership to get a full list of the original factory options. 
• Look for factory RPO codes: On the sticker in your glove box or doorjamb, look for codes that indicate a tow package. For example, a Chevy Colorado with a Z82 RPO code has the trailering equipment, notes Reddit. 

Other indicators

• Check the owner's manual: Your manual's towing section will provide details about the specific equipment that comes with the factory tow package for your model. 
• Contact the dealer: If you're still unsure, a dealership can look up your VIN and tell you with certainty if your truck has a factory tow package and its capabilities. 

Does my tundra have a tow package?

The Tundra doesn't have a tow package in the way that most trucks do because the towing features are standard on every model except the SR trim configurations. The Tundra SR, though, can be fitted with the SR Tow Package to gain these features, which include a Class-IV tow hitch and seven-pin wiring harness.
