5th gen transmission will get hotter that then 6th gen. we towed our 4000lb teardrop last year with a 2023 5th gen through the mountains it was getting up to 255 degrees did the same trip this year in the 6th gen it never got hot like that.
that wasn't the issue. it scaled back because the 4runner couldn't keep up, voltage drop, it was still in bulk. Still like to know what the 4runner dc to dc charger system is rated at. i'm guessing not that much and that is why they add a alternator if you get the aux power switches.
I don't know how people get these good mpg towing lol. I have towed this camper and others and never got 11mpg+ towing at 70mph. I got 13mpg in the 5th gen once only bc the speed limit is 50 on the Natchez trace.
Make sure to turn off all the lane keep assist in the settings. All the little...
2min charging at 1500 watts on a camping trip right now. It did this same thing in the landcruiser also. It is 100 degrees out. We recharge it everyday, so I usually charge it at 1000w till it turns off and switch it to 300 watts to finish it off.
Anyone looking to buy the hybrid and plans to use the 2400 watt inverter plug. It will not run a 1000 watt load for more than 15-30min without overheating and shutting down (the samething also happened in the landcruiser.) At least not in the summer.
Also because the hybrid doesn't have an...
you don't "order" a 4runner. a dealer will find one close to what you want. the tow tech package would have been nice, but not a requirement. we tow all the time, the echo works fine just like it did on our 5th gen we had.
I use the echo also. My or hybrid didn't come with the tow package. I used the echo with or 2023 or also. Works fine. I also own the prodigy but don't want to mount the box to my rv. I used to use it with a utility trailer.
There is a bluetooth button you can use with the echo...
I just towed for about 300 miles. with or OR hybrid. i noticed the same issue as you with these Michelin's tires. our camper is around 3500lb. we are leaving in 2 weeks on a 2000 mile trip with the camper.
did yours actually output 1400w for any length of time? it would only do 1100w for a min and shut down on the land cruiser one. i didn't get the fan noise when i stepped the charge rate down to 300w.
I already use a dc to dc to charge the battery bank in the camper when traveling. i have...
Week 3 still in the shop. I really hate dealing with service advisors, they can ever tell me jack. They change the hybrid ecu, some circuit board on the battery, and sound like now they are waiting on and inverter (probably a converter since it steps down 288 volts dc to 120 ac) positive note is...
