Re: Taco Towing a Altima?
I don't get it. Whats wrong w/ 3rd gear driving? Do all your trucks have a weak 3rd gear ? To me the only difference between light and heavy towing is the speed that you will be doing it at. It isn't a matter of working the power train that much harder, its just a matter of which gear you will be in to keep the rpm up in the torque range to where you don't have to be doing WOT all the time.
I have a 95 Taco ext cab 4 cyl A/T and have pulled some mighty heavy loads (not in hot weather) But I do not lug the engine, nor am I ever WOT, except for a short distance. And I am a believer of the saying, "you ain't under powered till you run outta gears". But if 30 mph is too slow, don't do it, because you may see quite a bit of it.
