Hello everyone,
Found this forum on Open Roads Forum. Sure is great to find a site that is Outback only . Vern, Great idea.
Anyway, Here is my question/concerns.
I bought a 21RS about 6 months back. I drive a 2002 Toyota Tundra, I looked and research the weight/towing capacity and thought the 21RS was a good choice. We love it and my truck tows it fine.
We took our longest trip so far this past month. Florida to Ky. Gas miliage wasn't very good and speed wasn't great either.
Am I pushing my truck too much?
Here is my numbers
21 RS
Dry weight 3990
LP weight 60
Total weight without extra's 4050
We travel with empty tanks
Tundra
4.7 L 4X2
Towing Capacity 7,100
Truck Weight 6,200
Truck GCWR 11,800
Truck Weight 6,200
+21RS 4,050
Total weight truck engine is pulling 10,250
Does this look right and what do you think?
