Build you a flat bed out of diamondplate and tubb out the rear. I guess what i am saying is take the duals off and use some prostreet tires on the rear...that would be mean!

I know toyota doesnt make a dually bed...BUT dually beds are easy to make. All they are is a regular bed with HUGE fenders clipped on. You find yourself a nice toyota bed, and customize a set of chevy/ford dually fenders for it. Jesus...I think I know what I want for a project now haha.

it topped out at 60 with the camper on it due to wind resistance. if you got behind a semi it would do about 70.

does anyone know the topspeed of a 3vze with an automatic?

i'd be concerned with gettin the bed and the body to blend well it would be an awesome project though if i had the time to research a good bed. si i'll let you be the first to do it.

It depends on the gearing and tire size.

Here's a good calculator:
http://www.grimmjeeper.com/gears.html

For example, the auto OD tranny (A340H) with 4.88 gearing and 31" tires would be geared to go 133 mph at 5000 rpms in OD (4th gear), assuming it had the power to pull it to that speed and there was no speed limiter built into the ECU.

thanx for the info above.

one more quick question.
toyotas are six lug trucks right?
i jus wanna make sure the camper company that put these wheels on it didnt use adapters. and the wheels that are on it say "toyota" on them.

and

is this truck a tacoma or is it a pickup. i'm not sure. and it seems all they did was add a chassis girdle, air bags, a few more leafs, and way heavier shocks, and dual rear wheels to make it suitable for a camper.

I thought toyota had a 8lug for the campers. Not quite sure.

The trucks and suv's are 6 lug though.

All of the Toyota Mini Motorhomes and U-Hauls I have seen have been six lug. There is an Toy U-Haul for sale not too far from my house. I will try to get some pictures later to day and post them for you...
