    Upgraded my gen 1 to a gen 2 4.0 V6 DCLB TRD Sport 4X4. Wondering how the towing experience is for you?

    I tow a 17' Casita with a '15 TDR Sport. We just returned from a 7000 mile trip to Glacier and Yellowstone. The truck did great, cruised around 65 and got 14-15 mpg.

    That is good to hear. How did it do on the mountain passes?

    Pulled Togwotee Pass (9658') between Moran & Dubois WY at 45 mph. That was plenty fast enough for that stretch of road. If I kept a good "head of steam" going into the climbs the truck did fine. I did down shift (5 speed AT) to 4th or even 3rd coming down the other side.
