so, I'm "Gregging" here. Toyota tow/rig ?

[mbryson]

4.7 V8 in these. What do they tow? 2001 if that helps (who wants an MJ so I can buy this?)





(I think this would be pretty bad ass with some Super Duty axles and 40" tires on it)

Yes

If you were "Gregging", you'd have a bitchen old school muscle car in your garage, but you don't.... so..... you're doing it wrong.

Yes x2.

The 4.7 V8 is a solid motor, but not super-powerful. I know plenty of people tow with them, but I'd want something more powerful if I were looking at a "tow rig". For occasional towing and lighter loads, it will suffice. Probably on par with what I'd consider historical "half ton" tow ratings. (as opposed to the last few years of F150's being able to tow 187,000 lbs...)

I'd guess a 2001 Tundra is probably not a very expensive purchase at this point. Probably a great truck still, if it's been taken care of at all.

I've always wanted a Tundra in this body style. One tons and 40's would be killer.

When I was with the Rad Jeeper, Brad had that same truck. We would haul his built Wagoneer on a heavy trailer all over the place with it. I'll guess and say we were pushing 9000 pounds. I wont say it was scary, but it was probably close. Never had an issue though.

Truck is being sold by a friend for $4400. 257k which is a lot of miles to me. I was just teasing him about throwing Super Duty axles and 40” tires under it

I do have a “new school” muscle sedan that certainly scratches that itch (mostly). I don’t have an old school musclecar, yet.

 

[gatchmo5710]

Solid engine and truck. I did alot of towing with one. 10,000 lbs and it would handle it but i would not buy it for towing.... as a SAS and truggy build.... HELL YES!!!!

 

[sawtooth4x4]

Not for towing, I tried with a Sequoia, not good at all. Get a real 2500 to tow heavy cars and trucks with. You'll be happier, and able to stop.

 

[skippy]

I say tow super heavy with it and send that toyota to an early death and make the world the better place........ I kid I kid.......kind of

You’re not kidding at all.

To me, something with 257k miles on it is worth $1500 tops. I don’t care if it’s a Lamborghini.

But Lambos dont hold roof top tents

It could happen

Uh, Toyota. It's still got HUNDREDS of thousands of miles of life in it

I thought all Toyota trucks had a $10k minimum price placed on them by the government? Why else can wrecked ‘88 Toyota’s with 300k miles be listed for that much?

 

[Spork]

found it on KSL... I'd probably go for this one instead...

That's some funnay LOL

1rst gen Tundras are the best value in the Toyota market. My son has been driving one for a few years with zero issues.
