    Towing 4k boat with 4runner

    Just tow in 4th gear. You'll be fine. I have a similar size boat and an '07 V8. I'd hook it up and drive across the country tomorrow without worrying about it. Your biggest concern should be the trailer brakes.

    My 4Runner is on Copart. Lots of goodies on it

    That looks like a pretty hard hit to not have popped the airbags

    V6 or V8 for daily driver

    I have a V-8 because I tow a boat. It does that job very well. In every day driving, I enjoy the seemingly effortless torque vs the rev way up feeling in my neighbor's V-6

    I have a 19' fiberglass boat that is fairly heavy for its size, and tow it 1500 miles round trip every summer. I don't know the total weight, but the bare boat is 2500 lbs.

    What did you do with your 4runner today?

    Rear wiper cycles one time when vehicle is started????

    I had the one rear swipe a couple of times in the last few weeks. This morning was a pretty sluggish start, so I went and got a new battery before its too late. I think I got my moneys worth on the original '07 battery.

    Check Engine, TRAC, AND/OR VSC On? Read Me!

    I got the 3 lights about a week ago. Did BlackWorks' gas cap tension check, and sure enough, it felt slack. Got a new OEM one to replace it, and about 3 starts later, the lights went away.
