Show us what you tow.

Here is what I bought the truck to tow for originally. Unfortunately family grew and with 2 dogs we use the SUV. 2300 lbs empty. Always use a WD hitch to be safe with the winds out here.

 

Tried to get the ska-doos washed and waxed. Place was closed for that ever allusive California rain.

 

I finally found a really light weight toy hauler...#2380 dry 17 ft. long
my motorcycle weighs #600 with fuel. We figure about #400 in gear. #100 for propane and battery
Full fresh water tank about #300
So Im figuring about #3800-#3900 ready to camp

I have the factory tow pkg. on my 05 pre-runner axcess cab with V6
I just bought the prodigy2 brake controller
Im also gonna go with an Anderson hitch

No mountains where we live

Also if Im forgetting to add anything for weight please let me know...Thanks

 

Maverick thanks! We looked at one but it weighs more. 17 wolfpup is #3100 dry

The spree in my photo is #2480 dry

Thanks

 

Does this count? Haha

Trailer and 4Runner combined was about 6200lbs.

 

maverick yes the spree and the sportsman classic toy haulers are the same accept the spree is fiberglass body with a power awning
and is slightly lighter. Whats the name of the dealer near you? thanks

 

question for you guys that know more about towing. I'm going to be towing a with my taco for the first time. I'm moving in a month and i will be towing a 6x12 utility trailer weight no more than 3000lbs when loaded as a high estimate. a couple hours of towing will be on a highway at highway speeds when i go get my new mower and the rest will be a couple city, but mostly country roads. should i put my sway bar back on for this or will i be fine without it if i take it slow which is how i drive anyway? i have towed with a different vehicle before but never in one without a sway bar on.

 

It's not about you driving slow it's what happens in a avoidance situation. Cross winds etc. You need stability. First time towing with it ?? Yea for sure.

 

Manure spreader.

 

I've towed my camper multiple times on all kinds of roads with no problem. On the interstate I will go up to 80mph at times. I tow with weight distribution and sway bar. Very happy owner!

 

2014 Starcraft 183. 4000lbs dry. One trip so far and the transmission overheated 30 minutes in. Hoping that was a fluke or somehow driver error.

 

New to us used starcraft.. ~3700#s dry.. You definitely know its there, maiden voyage soon to come..

 

I had a 21 foot Starcraft StarStream. Solid camper with a ton of storage.

 

I can't believe the travel trailers people are pulling with these tacos. I pull an argo on a 900 pound utility trailer with mine and I feel like it's all it can handle. Transmission gets up to 250 degrees in seconds if I don't pay attention to what I'm doing. 260,000km of off roading with 35" tires probably doesn't help it any. Maybe I should replace the old rig.

 

Off-road should have the trans cooler. Never had any issues with mine. Towed in 4th about 60 mph, with tanks empty.

 

This !

 

Had a party and towed this dunk tank for the day hahaha it was crazy light and bounced around like crazy
