[Rhodes22-list] Towing your Rhodes

[Mary Lou Troy]

What's the tow rating on the Tacoma? Generally 4x4's are a little 
less than their 2wd cousins but 4wd can be awfully nice on a slippery 
ramp. That said if your Tacoma is anything similar to our '08 Nissan 
Frontier it will be just fine. The Nissan is rated for 6300 lbs and 
huffs and puffs just a bit on the grades or in a headwind pulling our 
22 foot travel trailer but it pulls and launches the R22 just fine.

Best,
Mary Lou
1991 R22 Fretless
Rock Hall, MD
