Without looking at the vehicle I don't know if it will make it. I'd tow it though.

It would help if you told us about the rig your going to pick up.

I'm confused, didn't you just post in the off-topic forum saying you sold your pickup and wanted a suzuki?

I'd ask the seller of the 4runner to take it to a shop and have a mechanic inspect it to see if it can withstand the journey if it hasn't had a recent safety done on it.

This thread makes no sense to me.

How could anybody know if a vehicle can make a trip when they know nothing about it, have never seen it, don't know what kind of mechanical shape it's in?
