[VAL] Tow-yota



Greetings,
I have a 1965 Globe Trotter and am exploring tow-vehicle options. I've had
wonderful experience with Toyota products in the past so I'm looking at the
04 V8 4-Runner and the 04 Sequoia as possible candidates. If anyone has
personal experience towing with either of these vehicles, or general
knowledge about pulling Airstreams that you would like to share, I would
love to get your input. Here are the relevant specs:

Globe Trotter
length - 20 ft.
hitch weight - 370 lbs.
trailer weight - 2900 lbs.

4-Runner
hp - 235
torque - 320 lb-ft
width - 73.8 "
length - 190 "
wheelbase - 109.8"

towing capacity - 7300 lbs.
cup holders - 4
 
Sequoia
hp - 240
torque - 315 lb-ft
width - 78 "
length - 203.9 "
wheelbase - 118.1"
curb weight - 5270 lbs.
towing capacity - 6200 lbs.
cup holders - 10

Thanks in advance,
