I pull our 2007 2720SL with a 2007 4Runner with the 4.0L V6. Power and torque is more than adequate. Just went from Fort Myers to Blue Ridge Parkway and back and averaged 18.7 MPG for the whole trip (including the mountains). The 4Runner was pre-wired for the brake controller and trailer lights. Made the brake controller installation simple.

I don't use a WDH or sway control bars...still undecided about them. The 4Runner only squats a little and the front end doesn't feel light at all, although I can definitely feel it when the big rigs pass me on the interstate. It handled the NC mountain roads perfectly. I am very careful about loading the TM and not reducing the tonque weight.
