Yes definitely worth getting if there's any possibility at all that you'll do any towing. The reason being if you don't get the Tow Tech Package, your 4Runner won't come with the harness for plugging in a trailer brake controller. And even dealerships can't retrofit install the OEM harness. So if you don't get the Tow Tech Package your only option will be an aftermarket trailer brake controller.

part of that package is the digital rear view mirror, I do a lot of camping with the family and got it so we could see what's out back because otherwise we wouldn't be able to see out the rear window
Yes ! The digital mirror is worth it, plus the sonar in the bumpers. If it is proportional for trailers, no need for after market product.
The flip on the mirror gives you a very wide angle to the rear, you can also view under the chassis, plus more cameras on the corners and on the outside mirror.
It gives you mirrors for top down just like a satellite looking, lot of noise if you are going to get too close to an object or a human.
It will dial guide a trailer like a well equipped Ford Pickup.

My sales guy "confirmed" that this can be dealer installed ... I was pretty skeptical at the time but now talking to the parts dept and reading this thread I should have gone with my gut. Will update if they say anything different.
It can be dealer installed. Gonna pay more than you would most likely if it wasn’t already added on before the build.

did you have this done? I've since talked to service and they definitely won't install it. though maybe they're talking about the mirror portion of the tow tech package?
No. I’m in a TRD Pro. Mine came with all the things. I was meaning if it wasn’t handled by the Dealership selecting it as a FIO with their allocation. You’re not gonna have it.
Did you purchase one without it? Did you try doing a search to see if any close by or within a certain amount of radius they had any with that package?

Yeah we looked but opted to get one without b/c the sales guy said it could be installed there. He's wrong of course and I know that now. But I replied to you because you literally said "It can be dealer installed" ...
personally kinda interested in the straight path assist feature. i might be pulling a uhaul 4x6 or 5x8 trailer in june so that looks promising. just ran thru the manual on the caiibration for the trailer learning and it seems simple to calibrate.
wont need the TBC since uhaul trailers that are 6x12 uses surge brakes, the smaller ones dont have brakes.

I'm really keen on trying that out on a tiny trailer. They're hard to back up straight LOL
Sorry that happened to you. Some sales people know nothing.
Last December, we went looking for a 2026 Ice Cap ORP with upgraded black wheels, no moonroof, etc. We saw only a few with the Tow Tech Package, but they all had a moonroof.
It quickly became clear that if we waited to get every option we wanted, we could be waiting for a while. Not having a moonroof was more of a priority than having the TTP.
Also, during test drives using the digital mirror while wearing progressive eyeglasses was not comfortable.
You ain't wrong about progressive lenses and that mirror LOL!
On the subject of waiting for the one with the right options, I found that (on the ORP at least), what options they came with were almost entirely dependent upon sales region. Mid Atlantic, wherever Missouri is, and Mountain were the only regions where I could reliably find ORPs with both the tow package and Aux switches. GST, almost all of them had the tow package, but zero with aux switches. CA (and I think SET) were the opposite, all with aux, but no tow.
It was really bizarre, and made it difficult to find an ORP with both.
yeah too bad you couldnt find a dealer that would put in an allocation reserve request for what you actually wanted.
granted that makes your wait an unknown timeframe for it to actually get built and allocated.
took me 10 months for mine to get built. but most of mine was PIO options so that was the easy part.
hell my dealer let me add more PIO before it hit the port ( i added the rear cargo lights)
