    Does anyone here use their 4Runner to tow a travel trailer? If so how does it do and what are the ups and downs ?

    Not a travel trailer but I do pull a 5x10 utility trailer quite frequently. Total weight, including the trailer is about 2200lbs (4wheeler and dirtbike). She struggles up a steep hill to a popular trail head around here but otherwise you don't even know its back there. With that said the capacity is 5000 but im not sure the brakes can handle frequently towing at capacity, not for very long anyways.

    Also ensure your trailer lights connector is long enough to reach. You'll know EXACTLY what I mean when you crawl under and see where it connects to the truck. WHAT was toyota thinking
