TRD ORP racecar support towing rig / daily driver

[Joey_Midnight]

I bought this while it was still at sea in april of 2025 trying to get my hands on a red orp with a tow package. I wouldnt call this a build by any means but its a collection of some bolt ons, adjustments and personalization.

One of the earliest jobs was installing a proper subwoofer and an intake to hear this childish turbo flutter. I went with a K&N because of how complete the system was right to the turbo inlet.

After towing a few times it became apparent that the rear suspension needed support so I put in airlift airbags followed by some diode dynamics fog lights i had sitting around from my cayenne S I had before this for the early morning fog to the race tracks.

Some cali raised spot lights for the dark mountain roads when fog isn't present

Took a road trip out to pickup a new race car.

Finally moved onto wheels, and sold off the black optional wheels and roof rack forced on me by toyota and installed a trail hunder grill and bronze lettering on the rear.

And most recently the TRD FUCAs

Pretty cool detail in the TRD arms, they have 2 different states stamped on the top, one is cali and the other is.... Maybe Tennessee?? Idk haha

Nice "adjustments and personalization"!
Am fairly certain that state outline on the TRD UCA is North Carolina. Cool detail.

That's North Carolina. I have no idea what the significance is though.

Very nice build. Enjoy!

I just did similar this past weekend towing my 3200lb track car on a U-Haul auto transport trailer....5500lbs total trailer load. However, the tongue weight max of 550 was blown through at my 610lb reading. Even though 610/5500 is 11%. Wondering what your ratio is. Your cars and trailer look lighter, maybe 5000lbs? Your tongue weight?

My 4R (a 2WD SR5) towed like a champ...like you said, temps don't move no matter the haul. For handling, I do have upgraded tires (760lbs more per axle), helper rubber "springs," and an aFe roll bar.
