Re: Buy a Supercharger TRD or diesel for my fj ?

Ah, okay. You do not need more power to tow (only people that think this are the macho guys trying to compensate because it takes longer than 10 seconds to get to 60 hauling a huge trailer) The FJ has enough power. Your problems towing heavy objects is the size of the FJ. A small vehicle towing a large trailer will get pushed around by the trailer. It has a max towing capacity of 5000. So include yourself, whoever is with you, gear, subtract that weight from the 5000 and that leaves what you can tow. 4600 should be okay though.

Make sure the tongue weight is no more than 500 lbs, and don't even think about towing this trailer unless it has trailer brakes.
