towing

Hey everyone. Here in about 6-8 months I'm going to be moving from Florida to Utah pulling a trailer with my 08 FJ. I am buying a trailer but need some opinions on what you think I can safely tow. Im looking at two size of trailers a 8.5 x 16ft or a 8.5 x 20ft trailer. The trailer weighs around...

Hello all, sorry if I'm posting to the wrong section. I am setting up my 2013 that currently is w/o towing package to tow my travel trailer. Couple of questions: First: Any feedback on pulling a 4500 lb travel trailer with my FJ? It's 30' LOA and I have an equalizer hitch with sway control...

Hey everyone, this is my first post. I live in a camper and move often so I can travel the country. What I want to know is should I upgrade to drilled and/or slotted rotors. I am on the west coast and do lots of driving up and down mountains. I can feel the vibration now when I hit the brakes so...
