  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 1998 Toyota Tacoma 4X4
  • I am sorry to hear about your father.

I did some research on your truck and found a few owners manuals that say not to tow the Tacoma, but I was not able to locate one for your 1998 Tacoma. Another reason to consult your owners...

  • Parts Needed for Flat Towing 2010 Toyota Tacoma TRD 4WD
  • According to my research, the 4WD system of your vehicle prevents it from easily being flat towed. If the vehicle has an automatic transmission, a transmission lube pump would be needed. For manual transmission vehicles, you'd need a driveshaft disconnect, neither of which we offer. Additionally, Toyota specifically prohibits flat towing the vehicle on page 226 of the owner's manual. Plenty of folks make the modifications and flat tow the vehicle anyhow, but I wanted to warn you that doing...
