no no no no no no no

Our trucks were not designed to handle anything. 2 things they are terrible at: gas mileage and towing. 3 if you count the 4x4/pre-runner balljoints, lol...

So you know how to drive toyotas. That's cool. But that has nothing to do with trailers. An 8' uhaul trailer is not a 20' car hauler. That thing is a parachute, and a slight breeze will blow that thing around and your truck simply isn't heavy enough to maintain control of it.

What's the togune weight of that trailer?? Bet you it is a few hundred pounds over the max limit of your truck (empty) anyway. It's usually 10% of the tow weight, so that'd be 330 pounds for your 4cyl. My 3000# travel trailer's tongue weight farts more than that.

Just rent a full size pickup from U-haul.

I guess I'm a little confused now, why are you wanting to tow this trailer? I just assumed you were delivering the 20 footer to a friends or something. Why else would you tow a trailer you could only put 200 pounds of stuff in?!

Are you buying this trailer for yourself? What do you plan on putting inside it?

Even the capacity of a 7x16 is going to be way too much for a 4cyl to tow (more than double your tow rating). Sure, you don't have to load it to capacity but you're carrying a bunch of extra unnecessary weight with that kind of trailer which means you can't load as much cargo in it.

If you have enough junk that needs to fit in a 7x16, get a Tundra, at least.

So far the most I've hauled is a small jon boat for bass fishing which is less than 1000 Lbs.
