    I have no idea, as I've never used it on my V6 TRD OR.

    I remember hauling an enclosed Uhaul trailer from San Diego to Oregon in my 94' base Toyota 4cyl 22re and doing ok. It's gotta be better than that right?

    Maybe I need to buy a boat and try it out.

    Wat

    It's literally a tow receiver, an alternator, a trans cooler and a brake controller wiring harness.


    You won't be impressed by it because you don't have anything to be impressed by. Unless lower trans temps make you horny.

    Gotcha. I'll add it to my list then, we've been wanting to go that way and try pizza at that place that's so popular, and some pulled noodle place - the names of both escape me at the moment. :anonymous:
