What can the FJ tow? How well will it do towing?

This showed up in my driveway this afternoon. The FJC has the 6-speed manual tranny. (Also has 35's). Said it towed fine.

BTW, neither truck in the pic are mine.

Jim. So Mike got an FJ? Sweet.

 

[Capt. Jim]

Yes he did. First one in South Florida, thanks to his boss.

His was lifted and had the 35's the first day he got it home.

I have had an FJC for about 3 weeks now and am very pleased so far, I pretty much got every option that was really available at the time of order. Many of the options listed were not available yet. I have a 16’ SeaRayder jet boat I plan to tow. I live in New Hampshire and it’s just warming up enough to think about pulling the boat out. I commute 80 miles a day and have put 1465 mile on it. So far so good. I’d like to hookup with some other FJC’ers in the area, anyone near by?

My opinion on towing with the fj is if the tow vehicle is lighter than the trailer dont do it. if the trailer doesnt have brakes and is fairly heavy you shouldnt tow it with a short wheelbase. Emergency stops or wet conditions will jacknife your rig in a heart beat. Ive seen plenty of wrecked trucks and trailers on the highway. Just be smart about it. Unlike some photos in this post.
