New RP 180!!!

Yeah, I'm going to have to give up taping concerts, at least for a while, after spending the $$$ on this new trailer. (It's Not that I use old Neumanns. I'M Old...and I use Neumanns!)

 Fortunately I have a lot to listen to! Road trips aren't complete without good music.

I'm 78 so I built a small step for the bath in my 179.  It really helps and doesn't take up much room.  My 07 F-150 rear springs are getting a little saggy when towing, so I put heavy duty shocks with springs on the truck,  That leveled it up for about $200.  I have dual tanks plus an electric hitch jack installed which increases the hitch weight.  I removed the spare tire and put it in the front of my 8 foot box, which helped also.

Congrats on your new 180 and for some the same reasons you like yours we love ours.

I don't see you have any problems towing your Pod with your Tacoma PreRunner V-6. I added SumoSprings to my 2016 Tacoma which helped out along with using a WDH. I have no problem pulling our 180 with this new generation of Tacoma with it's new Atkinson cycle engine. I think most people freak out because this engine was designed to run at higher rpm's and they equate it doing so as to not having the power to pull at highway speeds which it in fact does.

The gas mileage on the Tacoma is not the best unloaded. When I bought tis one I researched both engines; the V6 and the 2.7 4 cyl. The I4 only got three miles per gallon better than the V6 but had no power at all and couldn't even get out of its own way. (I asked the salesman on a test drive, 'This is so gutless. Is the parking brake on?' He said no, they're all like this.) If I get 12 mpg pulling the pod I'll be happy. From what I've heard the 4.0 V6 pulls much better than the new smaller Toyota Tacoma V6 introduced in 2016.

 I had a set of Hellwig progressive overload springs on my '91 F-150 and it made a world of difference carrying a '67 Alaskan camper. I'll probably add a set to the Tacoma.
