Hell I was just now made aware of that by reading this. Now granted I haven't looked or own anything small enough to tow with this thing. I agree 100% that it should be a standard option on any pickup. He'll a Ford Maverick probably has one.
The issue is even if they do not offer a factory option, Toyota has not made it easy to add an aftermarket trailer brake controller like we used to on trucks before. Yet they advertise its tow capacity.
The storage REALLY sucks. I usually keep a 12ga shotgun or rifle under my rear truck seats. The only thing that fits in mine is a SBR Ar15 behind the seat on passenger side. I don't like not having access to it from my exit side of vehicle. Hopefully never need it but I like to have it on me. I'm still back and forth on the retrax tonneau or a weathguard tool box due to lack of storage. I've not had a tool box on a truck in 20 yrs. They've always had enough storage for a few habd tools, paper towels, rifle, impact gun when traveling etc.
I guess that I assumed it was contained within in infotainment system. Hell it has a 7 pin on the back of it. I just assumed it had brake options. What are guys doing with campers?The issue is even if they do not offer a factory option, Toyota has not made it easy to add an aftermarket trailer brake controller like we used to on trucks before. Yet they advertise its tow capacity.
I didn’t upgrade $4000 to get a model with it as I didn’t really need the other options and thought I’d add an aftermarket one. As well, here the upgraded Off Road only has the 5’ box so I’d have to get a Sport.
It’s like Toyota is saying it is a truck, but only for doing some truck things. For a complete truck get something else.
New smaller shotgun? Haha
