    Hi All,

    I think I know the answer but want to confirm with the all knowing and more experienced group here.

    '22 SR5P, towing a small U-haul open motorcycle trailer with 600lb bike. 1800 miles round trip, no worries??
    Should be able to without issues regarding brakes and such. I read somewhere to drive in S mode?
    Any advice from someone that has done it?
    Thanks,
    DS

    The payload of the 4Runner is more than up to the task. I haven’t towed with mine yet so can’t offer experiential advice, but yes, I would use Sequential mode to keep your trans from shifting too high.

    Enjoy the trip and the riding :)

    You don't have to do anything special, your 4runner is more than up to the task. I tow a 5x8 cargo trailer around on almost a daily basis [around 2200 lbs] and it's fine.

    I've towed my jetski in drive. No issues. Towing the bike should be nothing.

    You're well within towing specs, I used to tow my ZX10 all the time, could barely tell it was back there.
