    Yea he does. He keeps taking his 07' avalanche in for oil consumption tests. Those 4 cylinder shut down engines have some problem burning oil and seizing rings when the shut down occurs.

    With my Firestone airbags, the Toyota tows the 3800 lbs quite well.

    A man basket: the whole rig is not too heavy just fun because know one knows what the heck it is.

    Anyway just finished putting up that turbine in the background at a local transfer station.

    Lots of others have some pretty crazy crap behind their Tacos...

    I've got something pretty tame but effective for now...

    Picking up a 26 ft travel trailer this morning (getting a little crazy myself)... so I'll post some new pics later next week.

    RIP Pop-up camper.

    I'll let you all know how it tows and goes.

    Long live the Taco.

    Pete :D

    Not alot of weight on either yet, but this is what I tow.

    2003 Starcraft 2107. It has brakes and tows well all loaded up. Not sure on the weight, but I'm sure it's well within the ratings. I do air up the tires to 50 psi.

    No brakes on the landscape trailer, but so far it's towed well too. I haven't had it "heavily" loaded yet, but the most I would do is my 4-wheeler and/or a roto-tiller.

    Sorry nothing too exciting, but I do love driving/towing with my Toy!:D

    Going to be towing this soon. Coleman pop up, about 2200lbs. The one thing i didn't expect was that my truck would be too tall. I need about a 4" drop hitch vs the 2" i have right now. I had to lft up the front of the trailer to get it on the ball because the jack wasn't tall enough. Of course a litle sluggish with the 2.7l, but not terrible. ill really find out when i hit the highway and climb the one big hill on the 40 mile drive. Braking, without trailer brakes, was better than i thought too. Over all i'm not the least bit worried about taking this thing with my lil taco.
