It's camping season and here is our fully loaded rig - 2014 SR5, Rockwood 2306 and bikes - steady 13mpg from BC to Oregon at 55mph & stopped at the scales to check that we are ok on weights this trip - we were around 750lbs under GCWR with axles doing fine as well as 2650 F and 3350 R. 4Runner copes fine and seems totally unstressed even up the long drag up Highway 30 from Longview.

Rockwood MiniLite 1809 - don't have a pic towing it with the Runner. Tows quite well, but I definitely know it is back there!

How does the 4Runner handle the mountains pulling that size trailer? I've been considering one. I'd definitely be pulling it over some mountain passes.

[Edit] Referring to posts 1 & 3.
 
My T4R and M101-CDN Trailer

This thing pulls nicely - it's quite a bit smaller/lighter then the US version.

Awesome, just what we are looking for. Any issues over the summer with towing? How was the gas mileage on the highway? How about braking issues? Any info or comments is greatly appreciated.
 
[MENTION=57196]needsmoresalt[/MENTION] you're right in my neck of the woods. Care to share a little more info on your trailer?

You betcha,

It is a 1943 Bantam M100 trailer that I purchased from a retired Marine for $500. From there, I changed the lights, suspension, and trailer tongue. Then I added a lid, rack and tent. This past weekend I added a motorcycle carrier for my old KE100. This weekend we are off to Portsmouth Island for labor day, but some other time, send me a PM and come over to check it out. Pic of the bike carrier:

I love those adventure trailers. Would love to build up my own. The 10k price tag on some of them is a little intense on top of building up a 4Runner.
