I considered a 14 bolt for a while but there were a few drawbacks that ended up pushing me to the Toyota
1. Weight - The 14 bolt for my application weighs 550 pounds
2. Width - I think I would have had to cut down the housing/axles to keep the wheels/tires from sticking out of the wheel wells.
3. Non-full floater ( I realize that I could get by with the SF but if a FF is available that weighs less,why not?)
Getting the front hubs to accept the Toyota dually wheel is important to me and I will be looking at adapters as an option. I know they have their detractors and they are pricey..... but at this point what's a few hundred dollars more to get what I want
I don't know much about Toyota's, as a matter of fact the Uhaul truck was the only one I have ever owned, but I have had a large fleet of S10's over the years and here's what I can tell you about that;
Yes all S10's of all years came with 5 bolt wheels. They are also all the same bolt pattern 5 x 4.75. They had different offsets from 2wd to 4wd but thats the only difference
The 83 S10 2.8 liter was a gutless wonder even when it came out with fuel injection in 1986 (which is why the 4.3 was developed) My Mirage came with the carbureted 2.8 and it was severely underpowered. I shudder to think about a 21' RV with a 2.8 liter pushing it with an early 700r4 in OD. The upside is that a cottage industry exists to supply parts for ripping them out and replacing them with V8's
