Show us what you tow.

Damn... That thing is squatting... Excuse for some new leaf packs!!

Cool to know it towed that thing

 

It helps to mention the trailer was made for a 30' boat which put a little more weight ahead of the axles increasing the tongue weight quite a bit. Even hitting railroad tracks at a good clip, my tires still never came close to hitting the wheel wells. I've never been more impressed with a vehicle in my life.

 

That's because of the bump stops I bet.

 

If you are still under warranty go to the dealer and ask for the "Rear Spring harsh ride" TSB. You have to ask the dealer for the "Harsh ride TSB" word for word. They will add another leaf to your springs free of charge. I had this done on my 2011 Tacoma. You will have your 3pack replaced with a 4pack leaf. Don't let the dealer try to talk you out of it. They tried to talk me out of it saying, my ride would be rougher. That isn't true. The ride difference is negligible. I couldn't tell much difference. I do have less body roll on turns, which is good.

I hauled a load of rock recently, 1800lbs in the bed. The guy at the landscape yard was impressed. He said some F150's he loads, don't handle the weight as well as my Tacoma did.

Okay - you win the prize for the most unique item towed!

 

Rockwood Freedom pop-up camper. With all the gear in the bed, two adults, one child, kayak, 285 MT's, and ARB bumper, I still get about 14mpg. I have Dakar rear springs and have no issues with squatting. Towing through the mountains is the only time I can really tell its back there - and even then, I *might* have to go down to 4th gear on the steepest grades (6spd).

I probably have a total of 5K miles towing this set up over the past 3 years. Does GREAT.

 

I pulled a similar rig last year. Just the popup could get 18 mpg. Throw two kayaks on top and it dropped to 13.

 

Ready for Ruby Mountain Road Trip 2013. Thomas Canyon here we come

 

730 Miles and 11 mpg later we're finally in NorthEastern Nevada. Picture is about 7 miles from Bishop,CA in the Sierra Nevada foothills.

 

Nice pic!

Hope to go on one or two trips out west next year!

 

Neat looking camper. What kind is it?

 

Check out Thomas Canyon in the Ruby Mountains of NorthEastern Nevada. Insane place. Alpine like environment. Thankfully it's so far out in the middle of nowhere nobody has noticed it. We only knew about it because my folks grew up in the nearby city of Elko, Nevada. Will post pic's later.

 

Got back from 5 nights on the northern California coast, about 25 miles north of Bodega Bay. Total trip about 750 miles 13.2 mpg average over the trip.

 

The trailer is one I built myself from scratch. The Tent is a Tepui Autana.
