Canyonero's latest activity

I certainly appreciate the feedback. But for reference, my F150 Raptor on 37” tires pulls it just fine. This is a very important point to fully process. The Raptor should ostensibly have only a single advantage: wheelbase. Raptor has more...

Yeah that doesn’t look fun to tow even with a longer wheelbase F150. If the GVWR is 7,000 you are probably 800 to 1,000 (12.5% of 8,000) lbs on the tongue. I would scale it. You may be overloaded on the rear axle or gvwr. I would also highly...

I ordered 285/75/18s that I’m planning to mount on the factory wheels. They may not fit, but we shall see.

I have about 5K miles on my Continentals, 275/70/18. No rub at all. I absolutely love them.

Yeah, you're super top heavy, and trying to tow a sailboat down the road is um...challenging to say the least :) nice rig, though, I'm sure it's nice to have the ground clearance on your camper.

I think the profile of a boat is far better for towing. I’m glad your experience has been good! The giant lunchbox I’m using in my testing for reference.

Just did my 5000lb boat towing experience. No problems, not squirrely at all, in fact it's one of the better tow rigs I've used (experience includes 1st and 2nd gen tundras, Yukon XL's, F250's) notwithstanding Canyonero's experience. Highway...

Quick update after more towing. As a reminder, I’m specifically talking about towing heavy (just over 7k lbs), with a box-shaped travel trailer. Other trailers, such as boats or cargo trailers, will undoubtedly tow much better (with any vehicle...

I've never used that type of WDH so I can't really compare to what I've used. The one I have is like this: Toyota really needs a Sequoia TrailHunter with 35s and the 3" lift. Toyota should be putting AHC in the Sequoia also as an option. I...

It does.

Pretty sure my LX700h OT has a factory brake controller

I’m sure there were lawyers in a room somewhere drawing red lines through anything and everything that presented even a modicum of risk. “Cruise control?” “Straight to jail.” https://g.co/kgs/ZETtNaa Toyota is mostly run by the bean...

I agree with the OP on the towing experience. It seems to be low priority to Mr T for some reason. Worldwide, nobody tows like we do in the US, for recreational towing at least. Much like the absence of the 70 series here, Toyota seems to be...

I actually tried that. Maybe I wasn’t doing it right, but that was my thought— “dumb cruise” would still work. No dice.

What!? The dealer didn't let you tow your trailer on the test drive!?

Thanks for the great imo @Oakleyguy and yes I have this WDH pictured below. Totally agree that towing heavy with any midsize SUV isn’t ideal, but I do still feel that Toyota completely phoned it in here. Sequoia is not a fit for me...

A few thoughts/questions for the OP - Does your hitch have an anti-sway function. I usually think of those side sway damping things as a bandaid for poor trailer dynamics, but I did notice a significant benefit when towing a full size box with...

I don’t have it handy but the owners manual actually has the dimension from the rear axle to the hitch face.

No horse in this race, but I'm keen on hearing about the 300-series tow performance. As one that tows on the upper end and past 200-series spec'd capacities, there might be some things that can improve the experience. For reference, I tow a 28'...

There is no doubt someone tested and proofed the suspension and off road misc. The ACH models have great articulation, beyond segment leading. To me it seems like a lack of corporate discipline sent it out with too light of oil, bad...

@eatSleepWoof I personally have found @Canyonero insights on towing very useful. I am a buyer who researches the hell out of everything before purchase, yet spec sheets and assumptions based on specs cannot win out over real life feedback. Hence...

Man I kinda was in the same boat I really don’t have time to go test drive vehicles or **** with sales people. I wasn’t interested in a towing vehicle as mentioned. But this vehicle is a company vehicle and it gets used as such as needed. It...

That’s the main problem with Japanese vehicles vs. domestic truck platforms, and I wish Toyota spent more time on it. They just don’t have as much land to cross and towing necessities over on a small island compared to domestics designed here in...

What really bothers me is that Toyota claims that the LC300 had a lot of inputs from Australian engineers though the course of its development. "Toyota also claims input from the local testing “contributed significantly” to the new platform and...
