Marwayne, you bring up good points about the dry weight.That said I truly don’t think I am much over 3k lbs with what you mention.There is little stored in our Rpod and water/waste tanks are always empty. Iwould estimate everything in the pod weighed together that we travel with wouldbe 200 to 250 lbs but I could be wrong. Never weighed it which would be interestingto do.
Birdediane526, thanks for the info on the towing thread. Iwill check that out. I assume you 04 4Runner is the v6 model. I have seen morethan a handful comments about a tranny cooler. I will install one if I keep mycurrent rig which seems unlikely long term.
Tars Tarkas, I assume even if you are running in 4th gear ona 5 spd that it’s better/easier than running in 4th on a 4spd but someone letme know if I am way off here.
All good info, thanks!
