butchgarcia8496 Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 I am looking into purchasing a Toyota Motorhome and have a small enclosed trailer to tow. Completely loaded it weighs maybe, 1000#. Will this engine do this? I live in Florida so we are at sea level or below I'm not sure how much of a factor that is. Glad I found this site, I've been wanting one of these for awhile as it's just myself and my two small kids so these are much easier for us to work with. Thanks so much!

WME Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 The only thing about a 1000lb trailer is it soon weighs 1500lb. With careful frame reinforcement and a good hitch I tow a 5x8 trailer at about 800lb. With a stock engine the Toy was marginal, with some intelligent hopup work I can now run at 60mph on the flats, A hill still slows things down a bunch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
