Towing with a Tundra

Sorry, no Tundra
But I do have the 4.7 V8 in my 2005 4runner SportEdition. I am no expert on towing but I will say that the 4.7 V8 Tundra should be fine for what you have listed. I towed this jeep to the MayJam (about 160 miles round trip) and averaged just under 13mpg's. My 4runner is AWD but I still get 15-16 mpg's in town and if I set the cruise, I will get about 22-23 on the hwy. I know there are a lot of other rigs out there that tow more weight, are smoother, more stable, faster, blah, blah, blah but I am happy with it. I have a P3 brake controller and patience, I was able to stop just fine and had the power to go the speed limit with no troubles. Like others have stated, get a WDH. You do not have to have one but it will tow a lot better and not sag in the back looking like hoopty.

what kinda MPG does it make pulling with the trailer? 17mpg is unlaod right? I was thinking the 2wd would make closer to 20 being.

i flat towed the jeep to the Wheel In at Oakridge and got 10mpg. the 17 mpg is around town...

good luck...have you decided yet?
 
well i drove my runner to shelby a few weeks ago, besides some bugs from its 1st real run, It did good. I guess ill keep driving it for as long as it lets me. Having to drive it home will keep me alot calmer on the trails too.
