I do not understand - Tacoma has a tow cap of 6500 lbs. Why is towing 4000 lbs not considered OK? Thank you for any real help. Not sure why everybody takes time to chime in with insults instead of just being a helpful forum member.

Thank you for your good assistance. I have ruled out highlander because I do not believe it will be good at towing my 4000 lbs. Now it is down to 4R and Tacoma. Thoughts? Do we think Tacoma will get the 4000lb tow job done? The GMC Canyon has a bit better tow cap and is a bit nicer on the...

Wow tough crowd Just a novice car buyer looking to get some advice from somebody other than a car salesman Not sure who else to ask Any actual help would be much appreciated Cant find any direct highlander vs. 4Runner for towing threads They both have the same SAE J2807 rating at 5000 lb...

I didnt know you could add lockers aftermarket...is that a pricey installation? Would doing so kill the future resale value of the 4R?

Yes, but how will you get a locking rear differential on the SR5??

I really just don't understand why it matters that the vehicle is 10 years old. The powertrain has proven reliability. The fuel economy is reasonable for the vehicle size and weight. It maybe could have tighter handling and a smoother ride, but that is expected with BoF construction What does...

I was wondering if somebody could chime in with the reliabilty of the KDSS on the 2018 models. I have searched this forum extensively and it seems a lot of people have reported problems/leaks with KDSS, but mostly on the 2014 model. Not sure if this has been resolved by now... Is KDSS a...
