Anyone towing a 2011 Tacoma

The Tacoma requires a driveshaft disconnect. Some here say they have no trouble with them and some say they are a pain.

My friend has a late model 4wd 4runner and installed drive shaft disconnects front\rear, I think he spent about $3,500 (without brakes and towbar) to make his 4runner flat towable.

It would have been better off trading the 4Runner in on a Jeep. I guess he must have loved that 4Runner.

I almost bought a 4x4 Toyota Truck to use as a toad but the owners manual clearly says don't tow four-down. The car salesman assured me that you could do it and the owners manual was just a precaution thing and it wouldn't cause any problems. So I told him I'd buy the truck if the dealership were to put in writing that in the event any mechanical issues came up and I had problem getting warranty coverage because of the four-down towing, that the dealership would cover all repairs during the warranty period. The dealership would not give me that contract. So what that tells me as they know good and well that as soon as I put the baseplates on that truck that the warrant for the transfer case and transmission is probably void.
