Hello- we are hoping to purchase the Rpod 179.  Has anyone pulled this with a 2004Toyota Tocoma-V6 TRD. it has 4 wheel drive.  We can install heavy duty rears shocks, transmission cooler and braker controller. Any input would be gladly accepted.  We loved the features of the Rpod and hope we can bring this dream to a reality!  Thanks

Should be no problem. I currently tow a Camplite 21RBS with a 2013 4WD Tacoma. The CL weighs about 1000# more than the 179. Although I have the TRD supercharger on mine, that is because I spend a lot of time in the Colorado mountains. The stock Tacoma will pull your 179 fine, but maybe not climb that hill as fast. I recommend the Takonsha P3 brake controller and some way to monitor transmission fluid temperature such as ScanGauge.

Hello, fellow Canadian!
We just towed our 'Pod home from Edmonton. The Jeep didn't like it so much, but I'm sure they will quickly become friends and we'll have many great adventures together. Looking forward to exploring BC this fall - around the Jasper / Valemount area.
I'll give a wave when I see you!
Cheers -
Eric

That button at the top of the remote?
That's the power button..press it.

I'm considering a Model 179. I have a 2011 Ford Explorer with a towing package. Do I need anti-sway bars and a different hitch installed? The R Pod dealer says I should have them.

I've got a 2011 Ford Explorer with a towing package and 6,800 pound towing capacity. Do I need anti-sway bars and a different hitch installed like the R Pod dealer recommended?
