Double Runner. My V8 4th Gen had no issues towing the trailer and 1st Gen 4Runner combo. I had never towed anything in my life before. The brakes on the trailer did their thing, and the over size brakes on the 4runner sport didn't hurt either. Big honkin pullin V8 wasn't to shabby either. OME in the rear really helped it not sagging that much. Couldn't imagine the sag on stock coils. Had to inflate the tires close to max PSI rating. Trailer has warning for 55miles Max, I kept it below that and felt really comfortable. If I didn't pay attention and made it to 55miles/hr and more I felt it was wobbly a bit. So kept it lower. No need to rush. Best to arrive alive.

I didn't feel that other cars or trucks were blowing me around. I drove through a long tunnel that was the only spot that I felt air pushing me around a little. But not that much, and slowing down cured that. Over all, a good experience for my first trailer towing experience. But I had an experienced buddy next to me.... goood thing, because backing up a trailer is really all messed up!
