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.

See this thread for more info:

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?
