Replying to: boats3 (Aug 22, 2008 9:04 am) Yes, you have nearly the same setup as I do. Except my 21 foot has a "hardslide" that comes out the back to make a total length of 24 or 25 feet once you get to where you are going.   The V8 has plenty of torque and is a great (if not a bit noisy) motor.   Let us know what your suspension system is.   Happy Camping!

Replying to: chuck1 (Aug 22, 2008 1:23 pm) My slide is the same as yours, out the back. I will have to look at the suspension system to see what it is.

Replying to: chuck1 (Aug 22, 2008 1:23 pm) I crawled under the car, read the manual, etc. can't determine for sure which suspension system I have, however, I just got back from a 400 round trip tow and had only 1/2" sag. Pulled great. No sway, no trailer pushing, like in my last tow vehicle, overall extremely happy with the purchase. Now if I can get the kids to be a little more quiet on the ride all would be grand!

Replying to: boats3 (Sep 09, 2008 7:56 am) A 1/2"sag according to my WD instructions is acceptable.
#82 of 85 2000 4runner tow hitch installation ???? by nervo19 Feb 08, 2009 (10:21 pm)
I bought a used factory tow hitch for my 2000 4runner. I know where the bolts go but do I have to remove the spare tire and rear bumper to install It? The rear bumper is rusty and I'm getting a new blade for it so when I finally replace it will I need to take the hitch and tire off to do that? I've searched this forum and have checked my Haynes Repair Manual and don't have answers. Apologies if I should have put this with the 1997-2001 forum.

Replying to: diegop (Jul 09, 2008 8:31 pm) Hi, I just went through a lot of trouble to find out about my '06 4runner V-6 and got a lot of misinformation from dealers and their parts depts. Finally, I got through to Toyota and was told that I didn't need a transmission oil cooler added because my 4runner has a towing package. As far as other questions I got my answers from good sources: go to Toyota website. Jody Colorado
#84 of 85 2004 V6 4Runner Trailer Towing by jmwoelper Nov 24, 2009 (7:03 am)
My 2004 V6 came with the factory towing kit but I am wondering if the hitch receiver will be sufficient to tow my new trailer. I bought a 19' travel trailer with a dry weight of 3600 lbs. I will be using a Reese weight distribution hitch with sway control. Thanks for your help. Jason
#85 of 85 Not Sure by chuck1919 Nov 24, 2009 (7:59 am)
I don't know if the V6s came with a hitch heavy duty enough for a WD device. Check with the dealer, or call Toyota with your VIN and they can help you. I do know the hitch from the V8 models will fit. Others have switched them out. Good luck!
