I am buying a '01 Tundra SR5 AC 4x4 with 4.7L V-8, AT and Tow Package installed at the port. The alternator is 100 Amp. Beginning at least in
2003, Tundras have had a 130 Amp alternator as part of the Factory Towing Package.
My vehicle has the standard electrical equipment and accessories and AM FM Cassette CD with 6 speakers. I will not be adding any winches, lights or other additional electrical equipment to the truck, but occassionally will be pulling a boat & trailer weighing just over 5,000 lbs. The trailer is a
2002 LoadRite boat trailer with tandem axles, surge-type disc brakes on all four wheels and it has the DOT standard lights.
Is the 100 Amp alternator sufficient when I am towing or do I need the 130 Amp alternator?
