I wanted to start this thread, specifically for Toyota Tacoma owners who pull an R-Pod. As you can see in my sig, I have an '07 TRD Off-Road Taco, pulling the smallest of the R-Pods, the RP-151. Let's makes this thread the place to discuss our specific towing configurations, etc.

Thanks all. For some reason, I thought we had a larger following of Tacomas on this board. Which particular model R-Pod are you pulling? Any of you using a WDH hitch and if so, which one?

We are pulling a 176 with our 2003 Tundra 6 cyl. We did discover to always turn off the over drive and 57 mph gives us the best milage.

No sure about the 2011 Tacoma, but I can tell you that with my '07, and my small R-Pod, I can definately tell that it's there.

New to the forum, and just put a deposit down on a 182G. Very stoked to go pick it up in Phoenix, and we'll be towing it home with my '99 SR5 Taco 4cyl. I have a 1 1/2" lift on it, with after market 5 leaf rear springs, so I figure it should be fine for the time being pulling the unloaded pod. Anyone else pulling a pod with an older model Taco?
We'll be upgrading to a newer 4 door long bed TRD Taco within a year, so I'm not that concerned about the little engine suffering for very long. Would you folks all agree that the WDH is fairly standard equipment for the Tacoma to pull a Pod comfortably? |

Not sure that a WDH is necessary for an R-Pod, but probably for larger campers it is. I have to remember that I have the smallest of the R-Pods (the RP-151), so my towing experiences are probably different that those of you pulling the larger/heavier R-Pod. I don't use a WDH with mine, but again, it's smaller.
