You mention getting 1-3 mpg better with kayaks. My pickup does much better with a canoe on the rack. I've headed north on the same road with and without the boat on top. With the boat I make all the hills in 4th. Without the boat I'm downshifting to third. Maybe those pointy things help.

Leo, hang in there! Was up in North Conway last weekend. Just starting to get cold. Enough snow for a little skiing but looks like another month away for good lake ice, huh? Gotto love White mountain summit forecasts though - Winds 40 - 55 gusting to 90. Temps 0 to -10 with wind chills to -50. Visibility 10 ft. fred

I also tow with a Tacoma. Crew 2wd and bought an E2 wdh. It does not work unless I buy a longer hitch shank. Waste of money. Will stay with the sway control bar and sell the wdh part 6000.

There are two types of people in the world. Those who like RPODs and those who are wrong.

Buy the longer shank, it isn't that expensive. I had to do it. Better system than just the sway bar.

Hi Fred,
When you say you tow it in "4", do you mean 4WD? Drove my 180 home today from dealer and I felt like the 4Runner was struggling. This was my first time ever towing a travel trailer, so I'm not sure if I just need to get used to the feeling or if I should have done something diffently.... Thanks!

I believe Fred meant 4th gear. I have a Tacoma with the same transmission. Using overdrive (5th gear) the transmission shift back and forth from 5th to 4th etc. Most conditions I also use 4th as well, but if I have a tail wind or going down a slight grade I do use overdrive.
