I tow an EDGE M21 (approx. wt. 4K) with my 07 V6 4x2, and according to the computer my MPA drops from around 21 to 12. I haven't actually computed anything yet as most of my drives are fairly short.

So far, so good. Ridged and CJ3Flyr--just wanted to update you on my towing experiences so far with my 07 V6 and the new EDGE M21. As I said earlier the car has a frame mounted hitch and I'm using an Equalizer brand WDH. The trailer comes in at around 4K pounds including the hitch tongue, and...

Good for '07 V6 2WD? CJ3Flyr--do you know if the numbers on this chart are good for an '07 V6 T4R?

Thanks, Jetboy. I'm planning on doing the WD hitch with sway control.

Back on track I hate to put an end to everyone's digressions off my original question asking for help in determining if I did indeed have the "V8" hitch on my "V6" (I have since ascertained that I do have a frame mounted hitch). Anyway we have decided to go with a Heartland EDGE M21 TT for our...

Yes, the one I'm looking at is the 24' Elkmont, but the Trailmanor website lists the tongue weight at 320 lbs. I do use a sway control already with my popup, but unless I'm missing something the tongue weight seems to be within limits. As for the additional weight with options like A/C and...

I'm thinking of upgrading from my current camping vehicle (2004 Fleetwwod Tacoma popup) to a Trailmanor Elkmont trailer. I've had no problem towing the popup with my 2007 SR5 V6, but was wondering about the Trailmanor. Dry weight is around 2500 lbs. I have/use an electric brake controller and...

I just purchased an '07 4Runner (V6, 2WD) to tow my recently gotten pop-up camper. The vehicle has the tow package installed, but when I went to plug in the lights for the camper--nothing. I was using a 4 pin (on the camper) to a 7 wire adapter. Is is possible for the fuse to be blown for the...
