How much can you tow?

I'm getting a hitch for the Taco. Its a 2.4. How much have you guys towed with yours?

 

More than my truck can with it's lame ass TSB 3 leaf garbage, lol..........

 

I think the books said 3500 tow and 1100 in the bed I have not towed anything with my truck but I have had like 800 plus in the bed and it handle it just fine but my truck has the 2.7 in it

 

Well Running NOS OCTANE BOOST and 33inch maxxis mudders in a 2.7 4cylinder I pulled and E350 Diesel with a trailer hooked to it loaded down..

With ECT Power (ON) OVER DRIVE(OFF) and a very strong 4banger

 

the biggest thing i plan on towing is a car on a dolly. do you guys think it'll be necessary to upgrade my clutch?

 

I tow my 15 foot aluminum boat with my 2006 2.7 and i can't even tell its there. I hope that gives you an idea of what your 2.4 is capable of.

 

I don't think the 2.4 has the same limits as the 2.7 and would probably limit the total weight of what you are towing to 3000 lbs. I wouldn't worry about the clutch until you start having problems with it. Since upgrading it consists of replacing it wait until the original fails.

 

hi folks i have an 01 taco and i do lots of on the road work and i pull a 4x6 enclosed trailer with two tool boxes and all togather it weighs about 2100 pounds and other than the sag in the ass end it has no problems at all pulling it.

 

My base 98 2.4L 5cyl has towed 6.5 X 10 trailers filled with building supplies and industrial woodchippers with no problem. Weights were around 2,000. I have loaded the bed with about 1,500 pounds of bamboo flooring (even though i didn't want that much in there) and it drove just fine but the back end was riding VERY low too a point where i couldn't take it on the highway. All this with an original clutch at 250,000 miles without any problems. Hope this gives kind of a perspective.

 

Cant say ive ever towed anything.. im pretty much riding on the bumpstops the way it is now.. haha

 

I can haul my 18 foot bass boat with ease, and no problems at all.
