Problem here. I have a 2001 Tocoma Pre-runner, off the road, 6cyl with tow package. It is supposed to tow 5000. I sold my fiberglass 13ft Egg camper and bought a 93 18ft Nomad with a wide body because hubby wanted bigger.
I hooked the TT up to Tocoma to go get it's real loaded weight at the scales. Loaded the TT weighed 3760. The 80% rule puts this in an OK tow, well maybe on paper. I am 59 and have been towing boats, campers, and driving motorhomes since I was 14. There was not a sway issue and with brake controller that was OK too. With the OD off, it was a struggle to make it up a Georgia hill grade and forget maintaining 50mph.
Somebody please talk to me. This "old bitty" is ready to cry.
