Currently a family of 3 (wife and I + 20 month old daughter and another kiddo due April 2024) and am curious about how to make the 4Runner work to go camping. At the moment it’s impossible to fit all our stuff and all the camping gear. I don’t think a Thule roof box would be enough, or a hitch basket…maybe both? I have contemplated a small utility trailer which may be the only legit way to do it on a budget. Just wonder if I’m missing something. Really something with a bed like a Tacoma or Tundra but also love the V8 in the small midsize 4runner, it’s such a good reliable rig! HOW DO YOU DO IT??
