Default Re: Taco Towing a Altima?

nice to hear from someone who has the same truck! and you are totally right about the 3rd gear thing... I have towed my buddies t-100 up a decent hill at sixty and was floored in 3rd.
Oh, and seeing I would have about 500lbs of my tools plus her car jammed full of her stuff....
yah,
I'm really more worried about the strain on the truck than anything, even if i did go with smaller tires...
yah, I think I'll be better off just buying her a car there for her to drive for the summer, and then sell it when we leave. save alot more money in the long run!



I will say this these trucks are still amazing. I was pulling a motorhome out of the mud in 4Lo and snapped a 12,000lbs come along we were using. Hooked up tow straps and it smoked the tires for a while then pulled it out. the guy told me the motorhome weighted around 10 tons. wish I had a video camera to show my little truck pulling that monster!
GO TOYOTA!


Thanks ya'll!
