    Greetings,

    I am looking at a 2008 4.7L 2wd Tundra for sale online. The attached window sticker says 8100lb towing capacity, which if correct, means it has the two package. Dealer's ad also says tow package. BUT, looking in front of the shifter as shown in the picture, there is no tow/haul switch, just a square hole. Isn't the lack of this switch a dead give away there is no tow package? Or would that switch be in another location? Any help appreciated, thanks.

    I think you are right - no tow/haul switch, no towing package. Just to clarify, it is located on the dash down low just to the left of the shifter. But, you can key the VIN into this website and it will tell you all the factory optional equipment on this truck....

    Thanks for the replies. Below is a copy and paste from the vin check. No mention of a tow package. Does have A/T cooler though, which apparently is put on vehicles without tow packages.

    Hard to read the window sticker but I don't think they ever say it has the tow package....just towing equipment, like the VIN description says.....

    Had a look again at the vin check. All it says in the section called, "Port or Factory Installed Equipment" is "FE 50 State Emissions". So I think pretty much confirms that this Tundra for sale does not have the tow package. Thanks for all the replies.

    Here is my 2014 sticker.
    Clearly states what is in the tow package, but doesn't really call it a 'tow package'. :rolleyes:

    Don't mean to hijack or resurrect an old(ish) thread, but just a hat tip, fist bump, [insert 'whatever form of manly expression you wish' here] for this golden nugget of information. Brand new to Tundra's and was wondering what spec my new to me '04 Tundra AC was, however it didn't come with much in the way of information, so thank you.
