towing x

any of you guys tow anything with your x runner? i mean some of you guys got to have a boat, jet ski, atv's, bike trailer, something. lets hear it

 

i guess x runners dont have the power to tow nothing, ok, thanks awnsered my question

 

not really a big xrunner site. they have the same 4.0. they can tow what ever we can. forgot the other xrunner site for you to look at. someone will post it for you

 

well, at least i got a reply! i drove one yesterday gonna trade my tundra in but after driving it i said sorry dude no way. the road noise was terriable it shifted really funky it just handled bad and the stereo was crap even with the funny lookin sub in back an this was an 09 with 3400 mls someone bought it an drove it a couple weeks an brought it back, i can see why. i'm not bangin them they look great but i think thats as far as it goes, i'de get a new taco 4x d/c but they eliminated the dark blue i drove one of them i like them

 

the tundra probally doubles the towing capicity.i assume the shifting would be the same in a 4x4. road noise could be fixed with dynomat.

 

but a taco would pull my boat, atv's, an is a little smaller, wife is scared to drive my truck cause its to big, thats not really a bad thing except for her parking it

 

What kind of boat?

 

a glastron gxl 205 it weighs about 4k boat & trailer

 

talked to a guy who was tow'g a travel trailer with his tac. 28' surveyor,
3800lb dry, loaded would be about 5k. he had gone up to mount rushmore
10% grade. he said truck handles like a dream. I am going to sell MH. and going to a travel trailer also

 

Mine is an 18ft four winns, about 2800 lbs.. does very well with the weight. I would say you wouldn't have any trouble...

 

i've seen some things these taco's can haul in another thread its pretty cool. a friend of mine hauls rows of hay in season he dont know exact weight but said most loads are 6 to 9k depending on how green they are

 

I am amazed at how well it does with just a 6cyl this is what I tow.

 

i would put a pic of mine on here but cant find the button to bring up browser. me an my wife are going to the smokeys tomorrow for a marrage retreat with my church an the almost best part is i pick up my new polaris 550xp eps on the way back, i bought it in tn. cause better price an no taxes. i though i wanted a longbed but after lookin closer its the same truck as 06 tundra. nice rides

 

My dad has an 04 Tundra Double Cab and its within inches of the length of his. If you haul a lot which I do the long bed comes in handy but if not go with the short bed. Its much easier to park. I thought that if i got the long bed my quad would fit with the tailgate shut but it is still to long for that. Where do you plan on riding you quad? There are some good places in KY and TN.

 

willy begley is a great place to go about 3 1/2 hours from lou about 50 miles east of loundon ext 41 awesome place to go plus it also backs up to danial boone so theres thousands of acers this place is loaded with elk an thier not hunted so thier not scared of you another place we go i behind my buddys house into the #%%$##%^forest but our next planed ride besides sunday when i bring it home is the day after thanksgiving a whole bunch of us from work always go to LBL turkey bay

 

i have seen a xrunner in orlando SWB towing a single axle maybe 6 or 7 ft trailer. sitting off of O.B.T. and Silver Star

 

i know that some do cause i seen trailer hitches on some

 

maybe i'l just wait till 2011 an they'll bring back my dark blue color

 

Nice boat!!! is that the 180 horizon?? i wish mine fore 4 ft shorter like yours...22ft takes a bite outta my taco..Mines a 1997 22ft fourwinns with a 5.7L duo prop

 

i wish i could figure out how to post pics. an what do ya mean your boat takes a bite out of your taco does it strain it that much. is anybody real good with mods can drop a 5.7 in a taco
