[V8] Factory towing package

[toml99 at todomundo.com]

Are you saying that you want to tow things 3000+ miles?  If so, the  
wear and tear on your whole system, is way more than a beater truck.   
The old Toyota Diesel trucks(rare) are total workhorses, and are  
becoming rarer as the biodiesel crowd has scooped them up.  They'll  
do 35mpg hauling small loads...and the brake system is the same as  
the others(cheap)......Nothing could EVER get me to put a hitch on  
the V8.  I lost brakes in my trusty old Toyota 77 pickup towing a car  
back from eastern WA(on the flats).  I tow stuff all the time (with  
my big truck), and I can't even comprehend putting a hitch on the  
V8.  If it's to tow a 14ft sailboat a few miles to the lake, then  
whatever, but if you tow long haul...that's what trucks are for.   
Find yourself a old Toyota Diesel truck, and hold onto it  
forever.....Tom
