Can I tow this with my 2011 fj ? 6 Speed MT...

Judging by the GVRW at 7468lbs that is well over the tow rating for the FJ of 5000. Im sure the power wouldnt be an issue, but getting your rig woahed very well could be. I tow a 23' crownline boat & trailer, which I estimate to be very close to the 5000lb limit & it pulls & stops ok, but even I am probably pushing it. Especially after you account for gear, and in my case fuel in the boat, etc. I wouldnt recommend it.

It would depend on the type of roads, mountain vs flat highways, and how far you are traveling. You are definetly at the upper limit of an FJ.

i would say safely.....no...

 

[FJ&TJ_Dude]

I agree with the above and brakes will be an issue to if you going through the mountains

If you get into an accident even if it is 100% not your fault, expect to get sued.

If you need to tow a 7500lbs trailer, you bought the wrong vehicle.

 

[Wikid]

Yeah , Not a good idea and really hard on the poor FJ, recruited to do it.

 

[Coldnapalm]

maybe if it was a boat and you were taking it to a ramp near your house but any distance at all and i wouldn't trust it

I won't even get into but try towing it and see how safe you feel.
Search other towing threads and you'll see what I tow.. 25' Nordic boat
There is a pic of the fj and boat. I live in California and I tow to lake havasu a lot! 250 miles each way.

At the upper end????

It is beyond the upper end by nearly 50%, hooking this up to your FJ is a bad move.

 

[fjrohrs]

Can you tow it, sure. Should you tow it, NO. Stay on the safe side and within the 5000lb limit.

 

[SnoozeFJ]

I have to agree with the others, it would not be safe. I tried towing my 5000 lb boat with a 318 V-8 and that was hard.

 

[ruebarb]

Should have bought a 5.7L Tundra

 

[RochesterFJ]

Stay safe and stay clear of towing that thing!!

 

[mbiot]

thank you all for the good info...i didn't think it would be ok... but the trailer is going for a cheap price and is in really good shape...

GVW, is the total capacity of the trailer (weight) Plus its load (added weight), you can only tow 5,000lb. So how much does the trailer weight empty? You could possibly buy this trailer.
