Open Roads Forum  >  Hybrid Travel Trailers  > Towing Question: 2010 Toyota 4Runner & Jayco 19H This Topic Is Closed  |  Print Topic  |  Post New Topic  |  Oldest first Newest first  Page of 2   Next avalonman • View posts Florida New Member Joined: 01/07/2009 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Offline Posted: 07/25/10 07:57pm Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator I have a new 2010 Toyota 4Runner, 4.0 liter V6, with a towing capacity of 5000 lbs. the 2010 4Runner is a little longer and taller than the 09's. The V6 is the largest engine available now. I am considering a 2011 Jayco JayFeather 19H with a dry weight of 3615 and a GVW of 4950. I will use a weight distributing hitch and progigy 2 brake controller. Any opinions or experiences with this combination?

My uvw is right at 3200 with a gvwr of 4700. Im going to be exremely careful with what I pack, never carry water and watch the grocery list. I have the wdh and sway and towed better than I expected. Honk if you love peace and quiet. avalonman • View posts Florida New Member Joined: 01/07/2009 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Offline Posted: 07/25/10 08:23pm Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Thanks, it makes me feel a little better about my upcoming decision.

The 4 runner knew it was back there with even a small grade hill, but I am used to hauling the pup. If you're mainly towing in Fla, then no worries! avalonman • View posts Florida New Member Joined: 01/07/2009 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Offline Posted: 07/25/10 08:36pm Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator I'm in New England for the summer, then to Florida for the winter. I generally camp the east coast, but would like to go cross country soon. What did you find for extended mirrors for the 4Runner?

My Avalanche knows its back there and it has a 7,000lbs tow rating. I'm not a the weight police, but I'd be a little worried about that kinda weight on a new SUV. It is not the safety, but the wear and tear. The 19H is a great htt!

Ian1964 • View posts Pennington, NJ Full Member Joined: 07/28/2009 View Profile Offline Posted: 07/27/10 09:26am Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Hi, I have the Tacoma with the same engine and works pretty good for towing. I have had no issues towing the 19H. You will not be winning any races going up hills (hills as in mountains in Vt and upstate NY) but I wanted the V6 vs a V8 for when I wasn't pulling. The Tacoma is rated at 6500 lbs towing capacity. I'm guessing the towing capacity difference between the Forerunner and the Tacoma would be related to the frame construction. I definitely agree with your choice of getting a weight distribution hitch (I have the Reese Dual cam and it works very well). I also don't usually pull the 19H with the water tank full. I have never weighed it fully loaded but I'm guessing it is less then 4500 when I'm pulling it. The gas mileage is about 10 when towing, but I always keep it in 4th instead of OD (I have an automatic). Good Luck!!!
