[Rhodes22-list] towing a Rhodes 22 w/ a Toyota Tacoma?

[Arthur H. Czerwonky]

Bill,

The manufacturer of my galvenized tandem says that it weighs in at 900#.  The Explorer with six does well, not spectacular, at ~16 mpg.

>I have been towing mine for years with a V-6 Toyota 4 Runner rated at 5,000 lb capacity.  Also have a single axle trailer and can actually pull it on the highway and drive 65 mph with no problem.  Have towed it many miles but always on flat land.  Your mountains and hills make it more challenging but check the tow rating and the GVWR for your vehicle.  Dual axle trailer probable tows better and is more forgiving, but it weighs more so that is the trade-off.
