Default What truck?

Jeeez...ever towed a boat with a V8 4 Runner, Wayne? No? I didn't think
so. I have. I've towed a boat and trailer *over* the 4 Runner's capacity
without having the rig sway and bounce. The V8 4 Runner is a very, very
capable tow vehicle for reasonably sized boats. Even the V6 4 Runner
will handle a 3500 pound boat and trailer with aplomb. The V8 also has
part-time four-wheel drive you can turn on at a slippery ramp.


Take it out on the interstate and run a couple of hundred miles at the
speed limit and then come back and talk to us with your new found
expertise.

PS, towing at over a vehicles capacity is not a good thing, some would
say illegal and irresponsible.
