We have stock tires on our 2021 Land Cruiser (built December 2020) so it has the eight speed transmission. We added the 12.5 Gallon aux fuel tank and Firestone air bags (15 psi) inside the rear coil springs. The 2015 Airstream 23D International Serenity trailer scales 6,060 pounds. We see 10.5...

There was a Toyota branded 8,000 pound draw bar in a box with no ball as I remember. Would have to be 2 ⅝” Ball to tow over 5,000 pound trailer. That was in the Toyota miscellanous parts along with afore mentioned adaper cord to attach the brake controller to the Toyota wiring harness I think...
The 2020 and 2021 sales literature says there is both a 4 wire and 7 wire trailer connection like on my 2021 model 200 LC built in December 2021. In the glove box was a white plug with four or five wires to enable connection of my RV brake controller. So the RV connectors on the right rear came...
