Towing across country what do I need

[Csilver3]

I'm planning to tow my sisters 2007 FJ cruiser. What modifications do I need to ensure a smooth and safe ride? I have a 07 4 door prerunner (non 4x4).

Things I can think of from the top of my head. Better shocks, oil cooler, modify tranny?

Pull that much weight with a lot of air resistance for that long, I wouldn't go much over 50-55, your rear diff is gonna hate you... If it doesn't burn up

Rent a uhaul truck or enterprise pickup lol

Does your truck have the towing package? it has an oil and tranny cooler. If not, listen to doublecross.

And do not use 5th gear.

Yea getting a uhaul is probably the safest thing to do.

I don't have an oil cooler, but here can I get that?

Drive the FJ and fly home if it's a round trip.
Otherwise your most likely looking at some costly repairs.
