Supercharger for towing

Just got back from a long trip towing a 5100 lb trailer. Drove an average of 55 to 60 mph, hills and flat land. Averaged 12 mpg. I need more power on the hills. Am considering a supercharger. Cost will be cheaper than a new F150. Has anyone towed with a supercharged Tacoma and is it worth the cost. Thanks Bob

 

Yes people tow with them. Is it worth it is up to your finances. I think it is though.

 

Yes. And yes.

 

Bob, Check the thread "6 Cylinder Towing Review" for my experience towing without a S/C, and then with one.
You def want one! I just bumped it for you.

 

This is accurate based on my experience so I really only get 12mpg, same as those without I hear. I tow my 6x12 Enclosed with my supercharged 1st Gen. The great benefit of the S/C is that I don't have to use ECT and I can leave the overdrive on because the boost gives me enough power to not need to down shift most of the time.

Overall, extremely satisfied with it. However, I will still be getting a URD 7th injector kit and DT headers and hi-flo cats to go with my magnaflow catback in the near future. POWWWERRRR!!!
