Towin' With Our Toyota:

[Lunchbox]

Well I have a solution for my particular situation... I'm buying a new tow vehicle in the Spring... I'm probably going to get a Pathfinder. Nissan just put the V8 model out for '08 and it's capable of handling 7000 lbs. I drove one yesterday and it was really nice. My problem is I need an SUV with a V8 so I can travel a little further than just my local lakes. My wife will drive it 95% of the time and she doesn't want anything too big. So my choices are Toyota 4 Runner (which I don't like the look of) and the Pathfinder. So I'll pick one up early next year when there are more '08's on the lot...

For me... Problem solved...

Take a look at the Durango or a quad-cab Dakota. I used to tow my boat with a V8 Dakota with no problem. It's far more capable than the 4Runner or Pathfinder

Have you considered a toyota Sequoia? Tows 6,500

Sequoia is too big and the wife doesn't want a "truck"... She wants a small SUV... I know that small is a relative term here but you have to think in terms of a woman... Sequoia looks like driving a Semi in her eyes... As far as the Durango that dogbert recommended, I'm a fan of the Japanese cars for some reason... I have an Infiniti right now (which Nissan makes) and I like the fit and finish of the Pathfinder, reminds me of my Infiniti... The V8 in the Pathfinder is very powerful and will suit our family very well.

P.S. - She's going to read this and I'll catch hell for it but oh well...

My daughter bought an '07 with the 4.0L and absolutely loves it. It seems like a very solid vehicle. It should handle the 20V very well.

Can you get a Toyota Highlander with a big enough engine?

I tow my 20V with a 2007 Toyota Tundra (5.7), and it pulls like a mule. We pull alot up to Broken Bow (Very Hilly) and it never seems to hurt it.
