Towing with a Detroit

[yjay]

My 4runner has a 5.29 v6 rear with a Detroit and 35's. I assume it's cool to tow my utility trailer that weighs up to 1000lbs or so?
I also plan on towing a tent trailer, so not a ton of tongue weight. Anyone tow with a similar setup?

be prepared to get jiggy in the curves

well, you should be able to let the trailer push you thru the curve

I'm hoping with all of 110hp (at best) I won't have enough power or be able to go fast enough to hurt anything

I tow with my 83 and I have a detroit in the rear. oh and I toe a tent trailer. 10 foot bot coalman

I have 35's and an aussie locker in the rear. I tow a 16ft utility trailer with the toys on the back. Close to 3,000 lbs. I have electric brakes but haven't used them in 4yrs or so. I just take it easy on the stops. I even load the trailer up with my son's 4runner, my old sentra. So, I just say take it easy in the close turns(parking lot maneuvers) and use common sense on the freeway and such.

Max I towed with mine was 4K bls. would not want to go realy far, butt it could be done.

I should be good then

Folks say that every time I tell them what I tow. I even get some crazy looks when I'm towing too. Pound per Pound, these trucks are monsters. But like I said before: use common sense when towing that much weight. I dont know if I'll be able to do that when I install the 63" chevys though. We will see.......

My uncle had an 84 4x4 and he would tow a 2 axle stock trailer with 6 steers in it and he lives up in the hills. No problems and at times it was 1st gear. I just want to make sure I don't hurt the Detroit but it doesn't sound like moderate towing will. Sweet.
