So my dad and I had to push my Mustang about two blocks uphill to my house this morning. Long story, you can find it on Turboford. Anyway, I have a tow strap and a Smittybuilt rear bumper on my Runner, and I'm wondering if I could've towed it the two blocks. Seems to me like 4-Low would have been best, but it is 4x4 on a paved road, so maybe not. Would this have been doable?

2hi shoulda been ok, 4low woulda worked if it couldnt handle, its not very far, shoulda been ok on pavement... If two guys could handle the weight, no reason your 4runner shouldnt have....

 

If you pushed it there by hand, your rig would have handled it with ease. Two high and light on the throttle would have done just fine. Unless you are also fighting six inches of snow, uphill, while pulling it the two blocks, save four low for the rocks.

 

i towed my freinds full size chevy sittin on 35s for about 5 miles in 2wd it sure was slow but it got the job done

 

Geez, if you pushed it with 2 guys I wouldn't have given it a thought. I've pulled a full sized van with a Pinto 5 miles across town. If my runner couldn't handel it, it would be buried in my back yard. Not bashing you, but if muscle would move it my garden tractor would too.

 

Would have been no problem. You could always leave your hubs unlocked and use 4lo so your front tires aren't turning.

 

Hmm, oh well. Next time I think I'm using the truck. At least it was good cardio.

Yeah, no problem. A fat guy on a moped could have pulled it that far.

 

Hahaha! Can you tell I've never had a truck before?

that totally rhymes.
