I suppose maybe I can tow more cause my trucks wider and heavier than a 4runner or taco? Cause I towed a 4500lb landscape trailer loaded down with ease. Then again my trans has much different ratios too. Pulled it like nothing at all.

I like that safari condo but too bad it doesn't have AC.
I'm not sure of the practicality of the sylvan sport. It doesn't seem to offer any significant advantages over a tent.

Tow rating on the 4runner is 5000 lbs. Problem is the 183 horse power.
I have 190 apparently..no issues. Taking it easy is where its at, you can tow insane amounts with our trucks-just gotta take it easy-oh and trailer brakes help.Originally Posted by 4x4mike

There is sure some cool stuff on the market; they pretty much have something for everyone. I need to go to the next RV show just for fun, although that can be dangerous to the pocketbook.
I used to tow a decent amount with my 3.0, which had significantly less power and only 2-valves per cylinder that slowed it down more at altitude. I would feel comfortable towing up to 3500 lbs max with the 3.4 4Runner, but would like to keep it at 3,000 lbs or less so I'm not tempted to invest in a supercharger.
I need to check out those Evolution tent trailers in person.
Yeah, it has a lot of versatility as far as being able to carry some toys and having the table bench inside, etc... but I've saved it more for crazy ideas for my m416. That and I think it was designed for real small cars/suv's to be able to use it.Originally Posted by Robinhood4x4

Ken, aren't you "suppose to be rehabin"?
glad you're making the best use of your rehab by surfin and researching!!
For some time I've been thinkin of the same thing with almost the identical requirements. The plan was to buy a Alpine/Chalet a-frame trailer but I found this nice and cheap m416 on craigslist that I couldn't resist.
These trailers might be a viable option. Check it out!

I think that surfing the interweb is part of his rehab. He's got to get those arms back in action. By the looks of it he's doing well.
Trust me, I've been burning up the internet like nobody's business. Speaking of which, I keep getting this error message, does anyone know how to fix it?
Now that I had the casts removed from both my left and right wrists and arms, I'm hoping I will have use of the right one in a week so I don't have to hunt and peck on the keyboard anymore.
I do enjoy research and right now I am having fun learning about the new RVs. My mom just picked up this today, and while it is pretty neat I like the idea of having something small that will go most anywhere and maximizes spaces. There is so much wasted space in the big RVs and they are so roomy that it doesn't feel like camping anymore. To me, the small RVs just seem like a cool accessory rather than 'the reason' you go camping, if that makes any sense.
