The Toyota doesnt stand a chance against the X5 otherwise. However, when towing, the story changes. I think a lot had to do with gearing, which is why I beat him. I was surprised (amused) with pulling on him with the trailer. There isnt any question in my mind, which is the better tow...

As some of you know, I am a BMW guy that tows to a lot of race tracks across the Northeast. My business partner would definitely prefer if we'd just tow with X5s. So I am towing about 4000 lbs when I pull up to Dan who is towing about 3500 lbs with an X5 with a 4.4L V8. I got on the two way...

My mistake on the 6 pin. It is a seven pin, regardless, an adapter will be needed. I have the air suspension in the back and it makes eveything a bit more stable. I also installed a brake controller which made the biggest difference of all. I am not a fan of surge brakes. One of the nice...

Re: thanks for the advice Installing the hitch is very straight forward. You slide it in, and put the pin in place, and make sure its locked. Mine clunks as well. Its a non issue as soon as the hitch is under load. Did you look into whether you need the 6 pin to 4 pin adapter? Solice, I...

So he needs the 6 pin to 4 pin converter.

I use my truck to haul three different trailers, and they require three different sizes. The trailer in my sig uses the more common 2" ball. I would definitely call Uhaul to figure out what size you need. You'll probably save some $$$ by buying the ball elsewhere. While you have Uhaul on the...

Kanab is nice. I wonder if I will ever get the toyota out to those places. I always come to Vegas once a year for a convention, and I always take a couple of extra days. Unfortunately, I am usually burdened with some rental.

Hi, I have a place in Escalante. SW Utah is where I learned to drive off-road. Awesome area, too bad life doesnt take me there much anymore. I've spent a bit of time exploring the Kanab area. There are some great sandy trails leading from Elephant Butte into the back of Zion Nat'l Park...

Thanks for the welcome guys! I actually found the "maint" light fix on this site last night. Here it is....... 1. Turn ignition switch to "ON" position 2. Set odometer/trip display to "ODO" mode 3. Turn ignition switch to "OFF" position 4. Depress and hold the Trip Meter "RESET" button...

Hi everybody, I just signed up. I own a 2004 4Runner Limited with the V8. I've also had a Tacoma in the past. My primary use of this truck is as a tow vehicle. I am very happy with the truck, and came here to find out how to shut off the "maint" light. Already figured it out by doing a...
