Re: question: towing another car with a one tonne toyota pickup

It also has a class 3 hitch. I did visit the dealer but nothing concrete.
also a reminder it is a 1988 toyota but I will look into it.

If anyone can point me to a technical faq or somewhere else. Weight wise I
think it can handle it but I do not want to burn out the engine driving
4000K

I towed a vw van 200 miles w no trouble, do not use 5th gear!!!!

I towed a sport car on a trailer, 200 miles also.

I don't think you will have a problem, just take your time.
