'05 Seq Towing ?
I own an '04 4Runner Limited and we love it. My husband needs to replace his '00 Expedition since it is about 3' shorter now (T-boned on NY's Eve). I'm trying to talk him into getting the '05 Seq but he is concerned about the towing capacity. It is much lower than the Exp. We have a 22' boat that weighs in around 5000# with fuel. No hills to climb (SE Louisiana) and no other heavy towing anticipated. I think that Toyota tends to low ball their towing rating while the US makers inflate them. The smaller engine than the Exp (5.4l) and the lower towing capacity make it a tough sell. But ... he wants to lease it through our company and the residual value on the Seq is much better than the Exp. While the Seq is more $$$ MSRP and the invoice price not as low as the Exp., the residual value calculator nearly makes up the difference.
Anyway, does anyone have experience towing with the 05 Seq?
