Default Re: Is a V6 4runner enough to pull a 20 foot seacraft?

I see people pulling 27 ft boats down I-95 with
Jeep CJ7's!
Pulling is one thing. Stopping is another.

j/k I don't use the wrangler for towing more than a mile or so to my buddy's shop or boat ramp...Between my motor, low range (4-1) and gears (4.88), and having a 5 speed its great for sliding the boat on and off the trailer .....Anyone ever move trailers around on a wrangler/cj with a front hitch....WoW. When I was a kid the marina I worked at had a old beat cj7 with a 401/3speed/gear to gear transfer case , it had a front ball and man talk about packing the boats in tight for the winter.

When I use the Cherokee its very interesting being it's a single axle trailer but my no means scary, full on fuel towing a heavy goofy overdone trailer I can get up to 65 and hold it through a moderate grade, over 70 It falls on it's face and burns fuel like a space shuttle...

With tandem and brakes in good working order on the trailer and vehicle you should be fine with the 4runner. IMO t-tops and tongue weight are huge factors on lighter duty tow rigs, and again brakes
