    I was more curious how the engine felt when it pulled.

    One of the heavier things I've pulled...although I don't know the weight.
    Maybe 3500 for the car and 700 for the dolly?

    Never did a thread. Mines much cleaner than the one in the thread.

    Feels good. Sounds good. Engine temperature rarely tops 200 degrees towing. You can tell you're running a V6.

    Hi I posted a question in the 2.7 Single cab question and it was suggested that I post it here also...

    Hi I'm new to this forum (Lurker). I'm in Markham ontario and have been using Jeep wranglers for my lawn cutting/snow plowing business. I can now buy a Tacoma Regular cab 4x4 4 cylinder auto from some dealerships that import them in from the USA. I've had a 4 cylinder stick Wrangler (years ago) and now a 6 cylinder auto that works great, the fuel and the amount of maintenance for the jeep (too many !@#$!@$ u-joints). I pull a trailer 1500 to 2000 lbs every day and plow in the winter. If anyone has a late model 2.7 regular cab 4x4 auto can tell me if they think it would handle the abuse please tell me. I only work in a 20 mile radius and rarely go the highway (never for my work). Thanks if you can help.

    Any issue with the suspension? Do you need airbags to keep level?
