What is the 2000 Sienna towing capacity?

The 2000 Toyota Sienna manual says the towing capacity is 2000 or 3500
with towing package. How can I tell if the vehicle has the towing
package?

The transmission cooler seems to cover the entire front of the
radiator.

I want to tow a 2100# boat that is on a trailer that has brakes
(hydraulic surge). Not sure what the trailer weighs.

Thanks.

Try contacting Toyota's customer relations hot line and see if they can look
up the VIN to see what the factory options were. If you have the original
Monroney Label (window sticker) it would also list the factory options.

The transmission cooler normally does not cover the entire front of the
radiator, perhaps it is an aftermarket one?

It should have an additional transmission cooler. The extra cooler is
located behind the small hole under the front bumper on the driver side. If
it's there, you should be able to see it using a flash light, assuming you
don't have a fog light there.

You will have to find out what weight you'll be towing.

My books are out in the Sienna, but I'm pretty sure it's 3500 lbs out of
the box, you just need a hitch and wiring. Google Toyota Sienna and you
should get specs.

Happy trails ..
