Hey everybody, I'm looking to buy an airstream type trailer to tow behind my 2005 v8 4runner sport. I think Toyota lists the towing capacity somewhere in the 4000LB range. The Airstream Bambi is just under 4000LBs but I have heard some discussion that the 4runners true towing capacity may be...

Thanks Thanks for the response. I will check that out. After reading some posts from other users I realize I may have mistakenly attributed the noise to the transmission. This is probably due to the fact that I've had so many transmission problems in the past. It sounds like it could be an...
