I know towing isn't the best idea for a Typhoon, but I'm faced with an upcoming decision that I just can't figure out a solution for...
My wife and I currently have an '03 V8 4runner and the Typhoon. We'd like to get either a C5 Vette or a MKIV Supra in the future but to do so, the wife says one of the cars we have now has to go. We ride motocross and have a small utility trailer for hauling the bikes to the track, using the 4Runner to tow...
I'm faced with parting with the Typhoon or getting it set up to tow and swapping the 4runner for the 'new' car. You can guess what I'd rather do. Is there anybody out there that knows of a good reciever hitch that fits the Ty without having to cut up the rear roll pan? I suppose if it needs some trimming that might have to do.
As for the towing issue, I live about 5 miles from the freeway and there are only 4 stoplights between the freeway and my house, the track is just off the freeway down a dirt road. So basically, at most the tranny only needs to shift a few times and I will NOT be in boost while towing. Heck, she even said if it needs a 4L80E for towing we could do that. I just really need to find a good reciever hitch to sell her on towing with the Ty so I can keep it.
PS I know this has been covered before as to whether I should or shouldn't tow, but nobody (at least that I could find) has ever posted info about a reciever that might actually fit.
