Remco transmission lube pump

I've towed my two RAV4's over 40K miles with a Remco pump and no issues other than the cold weather one that Lug Nut mentioned. I did my own installations in about 2 hours, with no need to completely drain the fluid or drop the pan. The fluid pickup line connects to a supplied adapter that replaces the drain plug on my installation. I did loose almost a quart of fluid while installing the fitting and hose, but that was expected. We already owned our 2002 RAV4 when we bought a coach that could tow it, so adding the pump was cheaper than buying something different. When we wanted a newer toad, we were happy with the RAV4 we had, and since everything from the 2002 could be transferred to a new 2011 RAV4 except the base plate, there was little cost to make the switch, given that I do the work. My take would be if you currently have a vehicle that you like, and it can be modified for towing at a reasonable cost, then go for it. Otherwise, buy one that's towable without a pump that fits your needs and save the pump cost. The other tow gear costs will be about the same, regardless of make or model.
