Im going to start towing my 4runner to the far away trail with my Titan crew cab. Im on a pretty low budget. Have any of you guys flat towed your truck w/ a tow bar before? how did it go? Should i just keep saving for a hauler?

 

I think you'd be ok, so long as the tow bar is properly fitted to the 4runner (frame).

Don't flat-tow it with the transfer case in Neutral, the transfer case takes its lubrication from the input side (like automatic transmissions do).

On that note, if you have an automatic transmission, you must disconnect the rear driveshaft to tow. Just remove the entire driveshaft and toss it in the back of the 4runner.

Probably not a bad idea with a manual transmission, but my FOM (factory owner's manual) says this is acceptable for towing (manual trans in Neutral, xfer in 2H, driveshaft attached).

 

Nice.... Any sugestions on where to buy a good towbar set up

 

U-Haul Most big name Towing/Rental places will have one you can buy. I believe Wal-Mart also sells a name brand tow bar as well.

 

I got one at harbor freight for 39.00 on special + 20.00 for safety chains.
