Thanks for the responses, all.

Hey 2006doublecab: How did the brakes feel? Did you have a regular weight carrying hitch or a weight distributing hitch? Tranny cooler?

I have at least one anecdote from someone doing the exact same thing I want to do (using an older 4Runner with less power) and it's good to hear 2006doublecab's story, too. I think I'll give it some more thought though. I guess I'll talk to some trailer dealers and my Toyota dealer. Another option is a small, used, class C motorhome but I'd prefer the travel trailer route at this point. I like the get-up-and-go aspect (without having to disconnect utilities, strap everything down, etc., etc.).

If anyone else has any experiences, please send them my way!

Thx.
