My wife (then girlfriend) had a Toyota 4Runner V6 that we used to pull a
small utility trailer from Tx. to Co. about 5 trips. The head gaskets went
bad, Now Toyota has had to have a recall on them because of a defect in
their V6. Also a rear wheel bearing went bad, and if I had not interveined
at the dealership and helped them fix it, we would still be there. I believe
the 4Runner had a 5000 lb. tow rating, but with that small trailer the trans
shifted a million times and struggled on hills. We pull my A\S with a 93
Crown vic, or a new Chevy truck. The CV is rated at 5000 lbs also and does a
good job with the 24 ft. TW. It usually makes 15 to 16 mpg pulling the A/S,
about what the 4Runner made by itself, no trailer. You are better off
getting a real tow vehicle not a "Toy".
