Planning a trip that will involve towing a trailer with 3 llamas and gear - total weight probably not less than 4,000 lbs.
Am I crazy to do that with a 4th Gen ?
Would you do it?
If so:
What mods would you want to have done?
Tranny Cooler ? seems to be hard to find a shop that will do it. No idea on the cost.
Scan Gauge ? sounds like a good idea. No idea on cost.
Of course make sure the suspension, brakes and brake controller are as up to the task as possible.
The other (expensive) option is to just buy a 200 series LC. Not the perfect tow vehicle but probably a lot better than a 4th Gen and any necessary upgrades will have a longer useful life vs. putting more $$ into my '05 4Runner.
