I have a 1997 Toyota T100 4 cyl 2.7ltr (4x2) (150 HP, same as the 93 V6) with an 8 foot bed. It has 60K on it, it is "just" getting broken in. It has recently been checked out by a great shop, new belts, new hoses, new tires. It has, even in overdrive, lots of power for what it is, out of overdrive it has lots of power and lots of engine braking. I am having 1500lb overload springs put on the rear.
I want a ranger at with a dry load out of about 890 lbs out of 1100 lbs "cargo" and out of my GVW of 5000 the curb of my truck and this will take up to 4300 lbs. I know I will not speeding when I travel with this camper . I will also NOT be four wheeling, I will be happy to make it up steep hills (think "Tioga Pass Road" at 20mph (speed limit) and may be up to 60 on the freeways and at up to 15 over "unpaved" roads.
Will this combo work or am I spinning my wheels? Can't sell the truck now, maybe later a nice 8 foot tundra
thanks in advance.
