No, Toyota nor does anny other manufacturer give mpg estimates for towing. This report is from a reviewer, truck empty traveling at 70 -75 mph.

Welcome ! @smritte and I have a lot in common as far as vehicle choices and trailers. I've been pulling trailers my entire life and an off road trailer since 2009. We generally set up a basecamp and explore from there, which leaves plenty of stowage space in the vehicle and plenty of...

Bummer, ya, rust belt trucks are to be avoided.

I’m gonna raise a lot of feathers here, I’ve owned both Toyotas and jeeps. The jeeps were a lot of fun to own and drive. The Toyotas were/are a lot of fun to own and drive. Here’s the thing. Toyota components last about twice as long as Jeep components. 4-500,00 miles is commonplace for...

Wow, someone abused the crap outta that Lexus. I still have one original bush on the rear track bar, everything else was replaced as it wore out,, between 200 and 275,000 miles.

I’ve heard that before, but 10-15 lbs here 10-15lbs there, before you know it you’re dragging around a hundred extra pounds. As far as helping someone out? Heck ya, but everyone I’ve ever traveled with, all three of them, have their own tools.

Ive seen 21 - 22 @ 75 mph in real world runs. Toyota says 19 city 23 highway, but the EPA has not rated them yet.

Ya, a few months ago we thought an e350 would be the way to go. Itd be cool, but it would be a single task vehicle, not something to tool around the neighborhood in.

I’ve been turning wrenches since the early 70s. At first out of necessity, then as I got older and started buying hobby vehicles it was for fun. Now, it’s just work again. A couple weeks ago I thought I was 50 years old and lifted a new power steering box up onto the frame from underneath...

A few months ago I talked about turning the page, selling the cruzer, the trailer, all the gear that goes with it and starting over. The 2024 Taco tugging an Airstream Basecamp seems to check all the boxes. The 80 series has been a great hobby and I’ve learned a lot about keeping it healthy...

F sakes, you can't re-gen them like the big trucks? Wow, thats screwed up and a reason I'll stick with gassers.

Slomatt is correct. 1/2 drive ratchet, breaker bar and an aluminum cheater pipe should be included. I would also recommend not bringing any wrenches or sockets that aren’t needed in order to cut down on excessive weight. For example- my vehicle uses 8-10-12-14-17-19-21-22-24-27-30-32 and...

Reviving an old thread here eh? The Duralast AGMs I had were over 7 years old and I thought it time to replace them since they were only holding about 12.4 - 5 volts. So, I go into autozone to get a replacement starter battery first. The guy behind the counter says they can't get them...

That’s a lot of nice gear you’re letting go for cheap. What happened? Transfer? If I were living in the south land I’m sure I’d get something.. good luck!

Wow that's harsh, what does being to Moab have to do with anything? I've been to the 4 corners region 15-20 times, lost count, I'd have to go back through my photo files to know for sure. But Moab? Its a town of about 5,000 people with paved roads, a lot of little tourist trap type shops, and...

OK I'll play along, Is it mandatory to have a vehicle in the photo? Hmmmm. My family with us on a tour of Bears Ears

Get some rocker panel protection and go! You'll probable never need a rear locker, if you find you are going into hard core places and turning around a lot, then it may be time to add a locker. Can I tell you how many guys around here have a locker and have never used it? My brotherinlaw has a...

Many things to consider, but a rule of thumb is to have all tires the same size, for a multitude of reasons. Personally I deplore mounting a spare underneath a vehicle for a lot of reasons, access being the primary and because for a lot of people since it’s out of sight, it’s out of mind, until...

We have the Jettent25x that we used for years before we got our RTT. Personally, I overbuild things as a matter of course. Always asking myself, will it hold up after a couple hundred miles of nasty washboard roads? Not only did our tent ride up on the full racks, I added additional slats for...

I’m a curmudgeon, that’s just who I am sometimes. The oldest review is from December of 2023, meaning this fridge is the new guy in the game. I wouldn’t trust it for two major reasons- Phillips ( two Ls ) has been in the refrigeration business for about 100 years building quality components...
