And how well does it do as a tow vehicle?
Wife has said that she'd be more amenable to camping if we had a more comfortable setup for sleeping - to that end we are looking at small trailers. Right now her favorite are the little "teardrop" trailers. Weight on those runs ~1,000lbs give or take a few.
I know the 4runner is "rated" to pull up to 3,000# (or is it 5,000#?) but obviously there's a big difference between hauling a load across town and hauling a load up and down the 10,000' passes of the Rocky Mountains.
So what are you guys towing with your 3rd gen 4runners/1st gen Tacos? My biggest concerns are the relatively anemic power of the 3.4 and whether towing puts undue wear-and-tear on the auto tranny (though FWIW I already have an external tranny cooler.)
Thanks in advance!
