    No matter what you do to brakes, gearing and tranny, you are going to have a hell of a time getting DOT to change your GVWR. It's likely more expensive getting your GVWR changed than it would be buying a bigger truck.

    Lol.... OP is got some serious issues.
    Comes and make a thread , people give him advice, he doesnt listen. So why the hell u made this thread to begin with?
    I feel bad for his parents and teachers lol

    Fellas hes probably a troll, if he doesnt take any advice, most likely he is still going with this towing. So dont waste ur time and anger on this idiot

    I feel sorry for his parents to being 22yrs old making 70000 $ a year owning his own house, 1100hp 1st gen, and a 13 Tacoma. This is why I think so mechanically because all I do is work on cars. Build them, race them, fix them, restore them.

    There's too much of that on here anymore. He's been on the site over 2 years. A half our an evening surfing the site instead of watching tv and you'll learn damn near everything in that amount of time. I've been here over 3 years and still only know about things relevant to my interests. I don't know shit about SAS and don't care. But you don't see me making threads about things that have been discussed over and over.........

    Why because I haven't finished the top spring bucket and I can eliminate the spring and go with coilovers for drag racing?

    That's not a 2012 Camry that is a 2007-2011 Camry. You must be a whole other kind of stupid. You can only tow 3500 with a 4 cylinder so get used to that. Plus you must not fix cars because the cars are smarter than you are.
