    Here's a list near Gaffney ... https://www.bestdriverjobs.com/truck...rolina/Gaffney. The 4Runner will do OK in the pulling dept if it has a towing package on it. That'll probably get you the transmission cooler and hopefully a 3.73 axle. I pulled my 201 occasionally with my wife's 02 Explorer back when I had it. I've always had GMC Yukon XLs with towing packages and have one now pulling my 210. I had a situation a couple of weeks ago pulling on I-20 where we topped a hill to traffic running about 20mph. I moved to the apron just in case, but the trailer brakes let the Yukon do its thing and got me slowed down with out the ABS going nuts. So well worth the effort of keeping your trailer brakes in good shape.

    I use a suburban to pull my 198 and it does just fine.

    Thanks for all the input. I went with a tundra in the end, but haven’t towed it yet...

    I tow my 1995 190 with a 2001 F150 supercrew 4x4 with 5.4, got some really hilly and curvy roads and it does good as long as I keep overdrive off and am able to get a decent run on the downhill lol, dad installed electric brakes on trailer and buddy I can stop damn near on a dime, they help that much. As far as weight of boat, motor, trailer and gear probably around 3800 lbs.
