towing a Toyota Tundra with driveshaft disconnect

I put one on my Toyota Tacoma. It was very expensive, required a lot of maintenance to keep it working and still was a pain to use. This was in 2007. I traded it off after three years. Unless they have improved them I would not have another one.

I have a Nissan truck and a Toyota Prius, can't tow either, so we just bought a cargo trailer, so far really like it. Can take the bikes or what ever and they are locked up in the trailer.

I had a pathfinder and it had the drive shaft disconnect. No issues. Worked fine, until I forgot to disconnect it once. Bought a new transmission. Bummer

I had a disconnect on a 03 Tundra that I used for about 3 years, it worked well for me.

B&B, we have a enclosed trailer that we use for most trips but it is full of dirt bikes and gear.
I would like to do the occasional trip as just tourists and with the trailer we are too long
to fit in most sites. I'm going to ask at one of the custom driveshaft shops near us and see what they think

It is pretty simple to remove the rear driveshaft on Your Toyota, Just do that if a You want to Tow it!

A friend had one on his Ford Excursion that he towed behind his bus. He had enough problems that he carried a spare drive shaft. He got rid of the Excursion after 2 - 3 years.

I have one on my 2001 Tundra. I love pulling the Tundra because I can use it as my trailer and bring my dirt bikes along in the back of the truck. I towed it for 3 or 4 years just going under the truck and pulling 4 bolts out and straping up the drive shaft. Wasn't a major pain, was more time consuming, and hated when it was raining....but it worked fine. I kept my eye out for a disconnect and found one cheap, cheap that was on a drive shaft for a Chevy. Went to the junk yard picked up a used Tundra shaft (kept my original original) and had a shop swap out the disconnect. Mine makes some noise while driving but have had it for a few years now and had no problem. I also do a LOT of heavy hauling and towing with the disconnect on the truck with absolutely no problems.
