Hello my name is Gavin we live in northern Alberta, Canada, we drive a 2011 Toyota Venza AWD V6. We are going on Tuesday to look at buying a New 176-T and are just wondering if anyone has any comments or suggestions? There is just my wife, son and myself. Also wondering if anyone is or knows someone towing with a Venza? Cheers, Gavin ------------- 2011 Toyota Venza AWD V6 |

Welcome fellow Albertans! We started towing with a Grand Caravan but soon realized she could not handle it well so moved up to a Dodge Durango which has more than enough power. Remember that bears can go through your tent part as easily as a tent on the ground and take the usual precautions. Happy travels and maybe we will see you out there.

We pull (well, have pulled twice) out 176-T with a 2002 Dakota with no issue (other than gas mileage, which is bad to begin with with a Dakota, but I digress). The setup on my Dakota puts the GVWR towing at 4,750 lbs. ------------- "What happens in the POD, stays in the POD." 2002 Dakota (pulling a) 2012 R-Pod 176T |
