Lets see what and how you are towing!!

[Mindflex]

Always neat to see how people are towing and what their towing. I will start out with a few pics.

Would love to see what you guys have going on!

Pulling a 22' pontoon with a 115hp on it. Have surge breaks and a transmission cooler installed. I now have rear airbags as well which made a huge difference. You will notice the sag as they were not installed at the time of this photo.

Been using an ODB2 adapter and Torque to monitor transmission temps. On my last trip of only about 25 miles I didn't break 150 degrees!

Scout gear trailer, about 3,000 lbs. Tekonsha P3 brake controller and Airlift 1000. I learned that the 4R does not like to pull this in the mountains of Colorado. Out on the flatlands, no problem. Up mountain passes, TC temps spiked to 223 then would plummet on the downhills. I used Carista OBD adapter and OBD Fusion app to monitor temps.

See here for my write-up on this towing experience.

I like to think I'm pretty patient for duplicate threads - but a very active identical thread is on the same page no less.

That boat is HUGE compared to the 4Runner, good lord!

I have no opinion on duplicate threads...

My trailer has surge brakes. Haven't heard of a good electronic break setup yet (sure it exists).

It is a huge boat. The pic angle amplifies this a bit too.

The biggest towing issue is that the boat is so big it catches a lot of wind.

Curious if others experience this and have any tips.

Nice boat!

That boat looks like an upgrade from my old 2000 Sun Tracker PB25.

I still have not found a good review of an extended mirror for our 5th Gens.
Just got a new boat, a little shorter but seems to tow heavier.

I'm using this one and it has performed perfectly. It was plug and play from etrailer with the Toyota dongle.

I’ve added a trans cooler, Firestone bags, and tekonsha p3 brake controller.
