I bought an Rpod R180 and had concerns about the Tacomaās towing capability before buying. I asked the dealer if I could do a test run before we committed and they said yes.
The trailer weighs 3000 lbs dry. I have a sport and the sag was about 1ā. Fuel economy went from the usual 20 mpg to...
Advice I would give from all of my research is watch your payload limit. Thatās what runs out first once you add up people, gear and the hitch weight
Iād get both. Or maybe I should say, Iām getting both. I towed the trailer for a half hour or so. I wanted to see how it handled in general at highway speed. I also wanted to go up a decent hill.
I did both of those things. It handled awesome with the hitch and the engine didnāt struggle going...
I literally just towed a 3100 lb Rpod trailer. Iād definitely get the weight distribution/sway control hitch.
I agree with others. Fuel economy almost doubled
Weāll be doing some math on whatāll be going into the trailer and hope to tow dry unless the site weāre going to doesnāt have a water supply.

I have my seat as far back and as high as it will go and I donāt have any issues. At least not that I have noticed. Maybe I will notice it now that you brought it up.
