I've never towed before with my Taco. Even though she would probably do great, I've always been afraid of the adverse effects of the transmission strain (overheating, burning clutches, etc.).

I've been thinking about getting a tow hitch installed so I don't have to keep borrowing the work truck when I take two personal watercraft to the lake for the weekend. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />

Modern PWC weigh about 1000lbs each, give or take, in addition to the trailer's weight. I'm pretty sure the whole "shibang" would be under the 5000lb towing limit, but I REALLY don't want to put added stress on the engine or transmission, ESPECIALLY with the added power from the supercharger.

What are everyone's thoughts on Tacomas towing this sort of thing? If you guys are doing it without any problems, I might just buy the hitch. But if I have to install a tranny cooler or worry about rebuilding the thing after a few trips, it's not worth it!!
