you're better off anyway. have you done the calculations on gas costs to tow that far. i used to tow to moab and it was costing me $800 in gas towing my 4runner with my landcruiser. that's when and what made me decide to do the 3rz swap. I tried driving out there once with the 22re and it sucked. it did not like all of the inclines. with the 3rz, no problem and i averaged 17mpg. i probably got 8mpg towing if i was lucky
I don't really mind the trip with my 22RE and get in the 15-17 mpg range. I've always gotten closer to 17 mpg, but it was down on the trip last March for some reason. I plan for about $500 in fuel for the trip running premium (it likes it for some reason). If I towed with my Sequoia I would probably get closer to 10 mph (I have never towed anything that heavy with it) plus I'd have to rent a trailer.
