I bought this truck with the future plans on getting a 20/22ft camper. I was a bit concerned with the weight at first (first big tow), but it turned out to be a good combo.
Drove from Denver area to Ohio to pick it up. 44 hours seat time and 2700 miles. The 06 DC TRD 4x4 did fine with the 2010 230RS Outback. Equal-i-zer hitch, Primus brake controller, McKesh mirrors. About 8-9mpg, I was keeping it around 65-70mph to make it back in a couple of days. At 55-58, I got just over 10, sometimes around 11mpg.
At 75, 7.5mpg.
Equal-i-zer 1200/12000lb keep it straight and true, with big trucks causing a uniform push of the trailer and truck at first, then an equal pull about 3/4s of the way thru the pass. I know the hitch is overkill, but it worked out fine.

Hookup/hitch setup at Holman's RV Batavia, OH. Measure, adjust, hookup again, repeated about 2 times. Following manufactures directions put it spot on. 3/4 inch squat in front and back, nice an even.
