Well, I'm sure John has driven an M35-A2 Oshkosh down places that
wern't considered a road before.

Pulling a truck and a camper or boat should be a breeze.


Depends on the driver and the circumstances. I've seen large travel
trailers and large boats literally virtually jackknife on the road in
front of us when the driver swerved for one reason or another. In my
opinion, too many trailer towers drive too damned fast for conditions
and their abilities. 60-65 mph should be the legal limit when you are
towing a trailer and there should be a mandatory road safety course plus
a notation on your license before you can tow anything bigger than the
smallest trailer.

You may not need all that. * The only extras I got on my Tundra were
the V8, 4wd/off road, and trailer towing.

What's that go for new?

About $30K when I bought it in the fall of 2001. It also has the
extended cab (minimal back seat).

Fascinating that littleman freak, who positions himself as an internet
expert, can't find the price of a new vehicle on the internet.

The invoice on a 2010 4WD Tundra extended cab is $28,000 and change.

So, littleman freak can buy a new truck or pay his hospital bill. Bets? :)

We don't see any of the regular cab/small bed version up here.
That would be perfect for me.
One thing... I sat in one at the dealership while getting the RAV4 it's 6
month service, and found that the roof/windshield seemed to crowd in on
me...same as the Tacoma.
Maybe the seat was set too high...??

In Illinois the max speed for anything pulling a trailer is 60 mph. I
will agree that there are alot of simpletons out there who go too fast
on the interstates and demand too much out of their towing vehicle.

I blame that alot on the pick up builders advertizing outragous
pulling capacities with minimal safety equipment like... brakes.
especially on the trailer.

What cracks me up is these 150 class trucks with massive bodies, set two
feet off the ground from the factory... As if the guy is gonna' go off
road, maybe if he backs over his neighbors rose garden snerk...

I imagine you'd need a step ladder to haul yourself up to the cab on the
latest models.

He couldn't raise his stubby little leg 2 feet off the ground.

In Virginia the trailers must be safety inspected annually. Anything over about
3000lbs (lnot sure of the number), must have trailer brakes. These are checked
annually.

Sucks to be in Virginny.... Up here, if the trailer originally didn't
come with brakes, it don't need them.

just finished almost 6700 miles of towing one!

What a hoot.

Gee, 6700 miles ONCE in your life. What a laugh. Come back when you've
done a couple million.
