If you do it, be careful. I WOULDN'T. |
Boy, I can see why folks have a tough time selecting a tow vehicle - I'm getting advice all over the spectrum about a 4R V8 towing a 3124. I understand that more wheelbase is better, that towing power is just one factor in the decision, and that you can never go wrong safety-wise by buying "bigger." Part of the problem is that you can take that perspective all the way up to a heavy-duty pickup (the avoidance of which is one reason we chose a TM).
So, is anyone out there actually
using a 4R V8 and 3124 in combination? I'd love to hear from you. Rickst29's experience is very helpful (and his emphasis on safety is appreciated), but he's got a 2619. Thanks - we're getting close to the wire. Our second choice would be a Sequoia but its bulk and low mileage disappointed us. Thanks, everyone.
