I find this vehicle tows very well, as you mentioned I keep it out of OD.
Other than that it's common sense.

Check to see if the Brake TSB's have been done. If not I'd get it looked at before towing any distance in hilly terrain. Otherwise I'll guarantee vibration due to overheated rotors!

Llamas? And I thought I was the only one here.. right on. I tow mine around with my, new to me, 02. Take them up the coast for some hiking and down into Big Sur. Only had my rig for a month and I've had no problems towing. I'll have four max in a trailer and the OD off. Downshift when necessary for up or down hill(especially) so you don't have any overheating issues with the brakes. TSB brake work is very important to check on. Had mine done and noticed a big difference. My first tow session was vibrating nightmare. thought I had screwed something up. Since the fix its smooth. Everyone else here is right on, so go with there advice
