Maxing out the FJ, let's see what she can tow

So I know this is more than 5000lbs but the truck pulled it just fine.

Re: Maxing out the FJ, let's see what she can tow

its not the power that gets you on the weight limits, it is the loss of control in the event of an emergency. its not enough vehicle and can be easily overpowered by a trailer of any decent size that gross' around the weight limit.

This is not heavy at all but it's all I got. I can say that I can't even tell it's back there though!
