What have you hauled lately

Seem to always be getting the little brothers Jeep unstuck or hauled to the shop

 

To the race track

 

About 500 pounds of EMT and rigid conduit. #nosquatwithdakars

 

Refilled LP tank for shrimp on the grill tonight

 

An empty bed and empty trailer.

 

Huge trailer, I towed it over 120 miles over some steep mountain roads, was full of all my stuff. Trailer empty weight was 4000 pounds, my guess is it was around 8-9000 pounds loaded. I averaged 13.2 mpg while towing,hooked up to a 2016 f150 with the eco boost and he averaged 9.5.... go figure. Also, ignore my stupid pose.

 

Wow, resr axle is only rated for 3280lbs.

 

You tugged 9k behind your Tacoma ?

 

Towed the trailer, my wife’s outback at 3,800 lbs, and all our belongings... when I drove over the scale it’s said 7,900 and that’s as after we removed some of our stuff. Just an estimate. So at least 7,900 lbs.

 

Does it count?

 

That's nuts, that's way over the limit but it did it huh

 

They will be back in about a week.

 

On lev l ground it pulled fine up to about 50 MPH, anything over that and the trailer got a bit unruly and started to weave about. Up hills it did fine up to about 35MPH, it did have to work hard but I figure as long as the rev limiter is not in the red I would be fine. I know this isn’t what this truck was designed to do but I was In a bind and the Tacoma came out impressing the hell outta me. Seriously it got better MPG towing on the flats then the f150 did.

 

My three loves 1900 mile road trip to the Adirondacks over to Niagara Falls and back home.

 

It did just fine. No bending of any sort to speak of.

 

Well, hopefully I'll never have to try it myself but at least i know it can do it

 

How long have you been pulling the Winnie with the Tacoma?

 

A little over a year
