[Rhodes22-list] Towing your Rhodes

[R22RumRunner at aol.com]

Mary Lou,
 
I believe you have that backwards. Any four wheel drive vehicle will be  
sprung heavier and be able to tow more than a two wheel drive. Everything is  
heavier duty on the four wheel drive.

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
