Geez Ralph, now you have me worrying about something else: tires.
My 4runner is still on stock tires and suspension system. Read varying opinions to change to truck tires and add air-spring suspensions at the back.
But also read from a couple who've traveled thousand of miles coast-to-coast on all road conditions on a 4runner also pulling 5,000 lbs trailer with no problem.
Don't worry about the tires on the Toyo........The tires on the trailer may be the ones to worry about. Forget the forum BS about what brand they are....I'd want a load range D at least, and its a good bet if the Coachmen used a 3500lb axle they put on load range C.
Thanks! That calls for another research -- although I do walk throughs on my mind's checklist even for short trips.
My Coachmen came with 'C's. I immediately went to 'D's.
Tires are what keep you alive on the road.
Learning something new everyday.
Whew, my tires are rated D.
Now, now, the brand is unknown. Must be generic and the cheapest out there for the manufacturer. I just hope the NHTS/DOT is doing their job that these are according or exceeding to their safety standards.
That and my not doing anything foolish or reckless.
