    I have a 2011 double cab that I tow with a motorhome and use to tow a 20X8.6 ft enclosed trailer for fishing essentials for several people. This dude is tough, but poor on gas while towing. I Have 10,000 miles towing it with some recommendations, and 6-8k towing that big trailer. Supercharger, toyota cat back exhaust, 285 75 16s, no lift, air lift rear helpers. drive shaft decoupler for being towed and supplemental braking system with proportioning valve, essential for the active toyota braking system.

    ...That's why I referred to it as a "non-question".....Sorta like the questions I get periodically from my wife. There are no correct answers, only more non-questions, best response with those are a blank stare.

    At least you're smart enough to know your wife wouldn't like the answer you were about to provide.

    That's the easy part. She doesn't like ANYTHING I have to say.

    That doesn't mean I won't say it though....

    I would suggest making the tower the Taco and the toad the motorhome. That should iron it out in a week or so.

    That's a lot of fishing essentials. I feel overwhelmed when I have more than two rods in my kayak. And both have double hookups.

    But I still get good MPG.
