What is one thing you've had to tow with your tacoma?

I pull a 22' pontoon w/90hp, a 232 Caravelle Interceptor w/350 mag. And a 18' Mallard Travel trailer. All with no problems. But I am installing Timbrens this coming week to help with the small squat from the TT.

 

I've gotten to pull out two F350s and one Jeep.
Otherwise, I haul a TON of wood pellets 3x / yr for my pellet stove on an overly taxed trailer .

 

I dont have a hitch at all... I have to pull people out by wrapping the strap around the leaf spring mount.

 

When I first got my truck some guy flagged me down to help him pull his Ford Explorer along with a trailer and a fridge on it. I was worried because I had a bigger Dodge truck with a V8 and did not know what my truck could do being smaller and having a V6.

Well, I pulled his vehicle along with said items to the nearest gas station on idle most of the way

 

your like the old people that over exaggerate the story hahaha jk man
" i towed the YJ 3 miles uphill in the snow and rain at the same time while i had one flat tire and the bed full of fire wood and steel bars with myself and 3 dogs that just ate a large meal and all had to shit on a muddy and rocky trail......."

hahahahahahaha

 

didnt have to go far. trailer we have at work. had some equipment in it but not a whole lot. my boss with a brand new F-150 said i couldnt do it. so i had to show him what the yota was about haha.

 

Pulled an MR-2 to the gas station
Helped pull a 4x4 blazer out of the mud with my 2x4 truck

 

A Scotty 235 Travel trailer.

 

No pics, but hauled a F350 crew cab long bed on a 3 axle trailer like 90 miles down the freeway. (note to self....BAD IDEA)

 

my enclosed snowmobile trailer & 2 sleds a few times a week Jan - Mar

 

LOL.

Didn't even realize. I have pics of the trail from that night on my old comp I think. It's the same place as in my sig. That kids YJ eats U joints for some reason.

 

2002 Malibu Wakesetter VLX, ~ 5000 lbs. with gear, I pull this two or three times a week about 80 miles round trip from Easter to October. The trailer has a brake buddy system that works off the tongue, so braking is not an issue. As far as the truck handling the load I couldn't be happier. I have an F350 powerstroke that I haul large loads with and was worried that my Tacoma might not perform anywhere close to what I was used to, but I was pleasantly surprised.

 

i actually came up upon a set of air helper bags and i custom built brackets and lines for them and i used them to pull a 16' car trailer with 5,000 pounds of olives on it and i have a 95' taco 4x4 2.7

 

Here is my dad when the truck was his. He towed the boat all the time, and even brought it through the adirondack mountains in upstate new york a few summers. that was an impressive haul for that truck. just about at the max towing capacity with the camping gear in the back.

 

Towed my brother's Jeep to and from a trail (100 miles round trip?) and aslo pulled it to Flag staff, AZ fro San Diego, CA. Iwill be towing it back home in the beginning of the summer and back to AZ at the end of summer and same with winter.


I know I need a drop hitch fliped upside down.

 

Nice Sean, how'd it tow to AZ for you ??

 

It did very well. I got 11mpg up the mountains in cali and first part of AZ. Then close to flag I got 8.5mpg, My brother drove that tank and floored it a lot. We kept 75mph pret easy in 4th (flat and slight inclines) in AZ. But in cali of course limit is 55.

These are not re-calculated milages. My OD is 7.5% slow according to my GPS.

 

Honestly... Nothing major like everybody else but thought it was a worthy story..

I had a 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP 2dr coupe that crapped out on me then 3 days later i bought my Taco and on the 2nd day of ownership i towed my Grand Prix home cause the engine popped and it had just enough power left to pull into a parking lot. This parking lot was 30 miles away from my house.

It was a Knight in Shiney (Rad Red) Armor story! LOL!

 

this:



it was absolutly full of junk from a house me and my dad gutted and flipped.

 

Pulled a 6 x 12 Uhaul trailer (3700lbs) from San Jose, CA to Washington D.C. (3050mi).

Did it with my old supercharged 98 4x4 ext cab... seems like I got about 15mpg, had to gear down on the hills... haven't towed anything with the 09 yet...
