"Nice truck, Harry. You gonna get a camper now?"


Camper? Harry could get a custom tent that fits the bed area. If the box was longer, a cap could make a good sleeping area.

Maybe Tim's question was based on Harry's 'following the lead' with so many of his
purchases, e.g. cameras, guns, boats, pickups, and next, maybe, a trailer. Shoot,
with the V6 that thing is rated for about 6800 lbs towing capacity. Some pretty nice
trailers fall well within that capacity.

I wouldn't mind having a small "flatbed" trailer like the landscape guys
use to haul around their lawnmowing gear, but no one in this household
has *any* interest in RV'ing.

I have use for this:

When I had the RAV4 I bought an aluminum Mission 4' x 8' box type utility trailer. I wanted something light (about 280 lbs) that wouldn't rust away sitting outside year after year in our humid climate. If I had known I'd be upgrading to a Highlander in the near future, I would have bought the next size up..a 54" x 96" bed maybe with the ramps instead of tilt function.
I don't see my particular model here...similar one that had the rail sides instead of my panel sides. http://www.missiontrailers.com/landscape.php


I have three boat trailers around the farm that i use for different applications. I bought junk boats for parts , stripped them out, and saved the trailers. set up myself.

Great for hauling all kinds of stuff.
