Can we see the 35s in the woods? Any thoughts?

Could you guys help me out? I am evaluating the 6th gen as a replacement tow vehicle. I have read some conflicting reports about what the real world payload capacity is of these trucks. Would you guys mind sharing the sticker inside your drivers door that states the payload capacity?

I was trying to figure out why no body was running this color.... Someone get these on a super white.

I am cracking up on this one.

Everyone has a standard but man that is a low one. I have towed with my 3rd gen all over the place from the rockies to Florida. My 4runner has about 100hp less than you. I found the experience to be adequate. OP Did you get that trailer yet?

14 years now.

How long have you guys kept your truck?

I have had this truck for 14 years this is a treat. Thanks

Patience is key. Patience is key. I would not tell anyone to go buy a 3rd gen to tow a small (3k dry or less) travel trailer. I would tell someone with a 3rd gen that wanted to a small travel trailer to get one though. My 3rd gen has 10k more miles on it and the original alternator. I did...

Is there an aftermarket option for this?

re Most of those maintenance items I have done at some point in the last few years. This truck is pretty much a weekend rig at this point. I have checked the mileage off and on and it mostly in town driving ranges from 18-16. The deep cycle battery was not happy about taking a charge. I...

Does that mean OEM or are there other brands that will last 200k? I am not sure that this one is actually bad.

I thought I would post my experience towing a travel trailer to the Rocky Mountains in CO this summer. The tow vehicle is a 1998 3.4 Limited 4runner with just a bit over 215k on the clock. We have owned the truck for about a decade and 115k miles. I replaced the radiator about 5k ago. I do not...

Just to clarify I am only looking at V8 vehicles at this point.
