Towing with the LX700h OT - Toyota apologists move along (1 Viewer)

[Docyota]

More towing experience today. Towed my utility trailer with a 600 lb ATV and some gear. Maybe 1500 total lbs. loaded the ATV all the way forward, maybe 500lb tongue weight. While it did fine, there was a notable floatiness to the drive, with more need for constant steering correction and it was very prone to wandering and being blown around by wind and big truck turbulence.

After some work at the hunting lease, balanced the ATV midway on the trailer and had a lovely drive, couldn't tell the trailer was back there except 5 mpg lost (15 instead of 20).

That iKamper wind dragging probably accounts for some of the mpg drop.

I’m getting 17 without anything. 20 on the reg is awesome!

28 foot bumper pull toy hauler with dry weight of 6000lbs. Probably 7800 as tested. Drive it for 20 min rural highway drive.

Did better after I inflated the tires to 45, but I'm not sure Ill actually take anywhere with this rig. It definitely pulled the truck around d in windy conditions.
