I sent that link to Mama. Will the Toyo tow a small dual axle HD trailer with a Gator or a couple Harleys?

We've got nearly that exact same 4runner, (2x version) and love it. If you don't have 2 kids in car seats its awesome. That one being 4x, I wonder if it's got a little beefier suspension, and brakes?
I've only towed with ours once. I pulled a big really heavy duty tandem axle trailer with a mule on it to Broken Bow and back and it did alright. I was in a convoy of F250's and 2500's and we kept up just fine, you just have to drive it in the "manual" setting and keep in 4th instead of just putting it in D. I can't remember if I used cruise but I know if you've got it in regular drive it'll do the violent down shift any chance it gets. For that reason, I susgested the Sequoia above with the 5.7. Otherwise, it's a great vehicle.

Went all the way to Texas motor Cars yesterday, Got there to late for the 4 Runner it was going out the door already, But good things come to those that are late I got a 2015 ford Explorer has all the bells and whistles. I am loving it so far. Thanks Brian it was great to meet you!! So Cast if you haven't found anything yet definitely check out their inventory they had some more Explorers that would pull what you need it to

You cannot go wrong with a Hyundai Santa Fe. But make sure to buy 1 or 2 years old. Don't throw money at the depreciation. Void this comment if you have to pull with the SUV.

A "Certified" low mileage 4x4 4-runner from a Toyota dealer is hard to beat.
