Lookin For a VRV
So, with our big truck and trailer sold, I have been on the hunt to find an appropriately sized trailer to haul the toys around. I came across the VRV which takes the cargo trailer to the next level....

So, I bought a 2012 Livin Lite VRV 7X18:
I just towed it 1300 miles and the Tacoma tows it just fine!
There are some issues though. I didn't have the Equalizer WD hitch yet, I just had the Timbrens and the Prodigy P3...the only time I had sway was when a big truck passed me. This will soon be solved. As you can see in the picture it only sagged a few inches, but again, this will be solved be the Equalizer WD hitch.
Fuel Mileage was the main disadvantage I noticed. If I kept my speed down to around 55 I could get around 13 - 16 when it was flat enough for the TC to lock up in 5th, if it wouldn't lock up in 5th I kept the shifter in 4th and made sure the TC stayed locked most of the time. If I kept it in 4th it average 9 - 12 mpg. Again this was only when it was mostly flat and if I kept my speed down around 55. Once you get into the throttle the mileage drops into single digits. The truck climbed with no trouble and would go 70 mph all day long, but at a major cost!
