Well, I'm not having much luck with a "custom hitch guy" around here so I may have to trailer it after all. I can believe no one makes a heavy duty hitch receiver for this 4Runner.

The actual combined dry weight of hauler and scooters is exactly 513lbs. I was just rounding up a bit to give me a few pounds to compensate for full tanks of gas etc. I am wary of having anyone other than a trailer hitch guy doing something(welding or whatever). I guess I need to just wait it...

Not planning on dying any time soon. Do you know something I don't?

Well she was tired of her old Honda pilot and they practically gave the damn 4Runner to her so she couldn't resist. My truck is a paid-off, minty 04 Ranger with less than 30,000 miles on it since I ride the scooter most of the time, At that rate I'll drive it to my grave.

Not sold on a Trailer OK guys, I'm back again with more questions on this subject. I'm back to looking at the versahaul rack again. I'm really opposed to the trailer idea, mainly because we don't want it cluttering up the driveway/carport area, but also because of the general hassle of pulling...

Thanks for your help. That's the kinda info I need. I didn't know waht a 5th Gen was.I'm new to all this and the local dealer hasn't been a lot of help with the towing details. I was hoping to avoid a trailer if possible, but if the suspension cant handle the 550 lbs I'm looking at, I may just...

Hello, This is my first post here. We just bough a 4Runner last night. So far so good. My wife is loving it. I have a question though. I did a search but couldn't find info specific to my vehicle. I need to know what is the maximum tongue weight limit of the 2011 SR5 4Runner hitch receiver...
