I'm currently having a new 22RE performance engine swapped with a Pro cluctch. Expected power about 20hp over stock I'm guessing.

I would like to pull my motorcycle (about 400 lbs) with a light weight single axle trailer (about 200-300 lbs).

My questions: Should I pull with my 4Runner? How will it pull ~700 lbs and brake with elevation change/ long hill climbs?

This is my only option at this point and would like to hear from anyone out there will experience in pulling with their 22RE truck/SUV. Also, I don't plan on pulling anything till after 5K miles are on the new rebuild. Thanks!

you should do fine. just keep the rpms up to maintain speed.

Isn't the stock bumper hitch rated at 700lbs? if you have a hitch that makes it even better. you should be fine.

Cool! Good to hear. I just recently sold my 1,200 lb 14'X6.5' bike trailer because it was honestly overkill. I love hauling my bikes to nice roads (Cali, Co, etc.) and thought I would have to buy a big truck just to tow.

I'm glad I have the EFI because I often hit high altitude.

Let's see more pictures of 22RE trucks or 4runners towing.

P.S. I plan on setting up a tow hitch with adjustabl receiver.
Something like this:
And trailer like this:

that trailer you posted should be an easy tow, especially if the bike is balanced over the axle.

i have a hitch mount under the bumper, which i strongly recommend. if nothing else than a light tow-point

Like all else it will take some getting used to.

That is very little weight compared to the things I have pulled.

I think there is already a thread like that.

EDIT: it was placed in the 3rd gen 4runner section and 1st gen Tacoma section though

not a 22RE, but the trailer is about 4,000lbs loaded (rated 3,500 / the axle is less than 1/2" from bouncing off the trailer frame) and the 4runner was outrunning the V10 RV uphill, at elevation in northern AZ

my trucks towing capacity is 5000lbs....its the turbo with the towing package...but I'm sure you could handle a motorcycle

Shouldnt be an issue especially with a well balanced trailer like that!

are you sure it isn't more like 3500?

I've seen 22-RE Toyota trucks towing other Toyota trucks on single axle trailers. Probably not the safest thing, but it can be done xD

Nice CBR! Before I got my R1 it was between the GSX-R, CBR, ZX10R, and R1.

Here are my babies!


Well this could be a thread for the 1st and 2nd gen.

I used to have a 05 raven r1 needed money had to sell, I have a sv650 i used to ride to class now my gf is learning how to ride it. i found a steal on that cbr this summer and couldn't resist. How do you like your toasty seat? that's one thing i hated on the r1, but still its the sexiest of the jap bikes.

It'll do fine.

Good to know Corax, looks like my trailer will be giving up before the 4 runner. Our old vehicle was a Trooper which had a big frame so I never had to worry about capacity, looks like I still wont have that problem. About 3k is the limit on my trailer.
