toyota pickup

Trd is not a model it is a submodel. Neither any 2018 Tacoma for Tundra is listed by either motrhomemagazine it Fmcaas towable. Actually no 2018 Toyota truck is tiwable. I even checked the owners manuals and both trucks require all 4 wheels off the ground for any towing. There Are no optional transfer cases for ANY Toyota truck. All are electronic with no neutral. I think you are confusing today,scomplicated electronic vehicles with Toyotas from years ago. I had a 2005 Tacoma and had to install a diveshaft disconnect. For some reason theJapanese mfrs. Don't want to approve vehicles for towing.

OK didn't see the Tacoma part. The talk was about 16?-17-18 models like the TRD and some sport model has the trans needed.

Olylen. The discussion is about newre Tacoma's. I went and looked at the 2018 Taco brochure. I do not see any model with that trasfer case. They are all part time and electronic and no neutral position. I think at one time some of the Foreunners were as you described. If you can provide a link to information that proves me wrong I will eat crow.

Sorry but there ARE two models that can be towed 4 down and they are part time with a neutral position in the transfer. That makes them part time, 2 high 4 high, neutral and 4 low. Think its the same transfer as my 2000 4-runner I tow 4 down.

There is a way! I tow my 2016 Tacoma 4x4 automatic with push button start 4 down.

Basically driveshaft disconnect and battery disconnect to keep the steering unlocked. I did notice that Blue Ox only offers the base plates for 2016 and 2017 models. I do not know what the difference may be with the 2018 as they look identical from the outside.

PM me if you need the details.

Towability has nothing to do with part time 4wd. The transfer case has to have a neutral position. Domestic trucks have available transfer cases with a neutral. Toyota trucks have not had a neutral position since around 2005. The tf is electronic with no neutral. They are part time 4wd. A driveshaft disconnect can solve that problem. You can download owners manuals and see what Toyota says about dinghy towing.

There are two models that can be towed four down, but they are the costly part time 4x4 models. Do a search and you can find them.

I do not think Toyota wants you to use a dolly. A Tacoma can be towed 4 down with a Driveshaft disconnect. There are some users on IRV2 with info as to how it is done. A little tricky if it has push button start.

If the Toyota 4X4 product in question does not have a manually shifted transfer case with a neutral position it CANNOT be towed 4down as is. You would need to install a rear driveshaft disconnect device.

It cannot be towed 4 down. Has to be on a dolly with differential in neutral.

I work for Toyota.
