All 2010+ 4Rs are 5k. This camper is about 4600 loaded. The 4R is not the best tow vehicle, with only 5 gears it likes to stay in higher rpm, but it does fine. I wouldn’t worry about anything under 4000#. 👍

Awesome man, thanks for sharing.

I highly recommend getting the larger WeighSafe weight distribution hitch. You’ll need to lengthen your security chains, but you’ll be able to lift the rear hatch in transit and everything will be maximized to work together. The 4R handled the camper well, expect high rpms, but it’s fine. A good brake controller and a proper weight distribution setup though and everything else won’t be an issue. I love the camper, but I wish we would’ve bought a GeoPro 20fbs. It’s basically the same except lighter, longer, a walk around bed and a larger shower. I highly recommend checking it out before you buy. If you’re really interested in the Jayco though I’ll sell you mine and buy the 20fbs 😎 👍😊 lol. The Jayco is a great camper though. Great quality. When you’re staying in it you don’t feel like you’re roughing it.

@@OrganizedMud Thank you for the info, our last set up was with a tacoma and winnie micro minnie. We loved it but moved on. We are also looking at the other model you mentioned. I was concerned about the tow capacity of the 4runner but it sounds like you are doing fine. Thank you sir

Awesome man, you’re welcome! 🙏

Good to hear!

If they did, it makes no sense and is unnecessary because you’ll be on the spare first. But either way, horribly inconvenient.

I think it was just for the video. I don’t remember any reason.

The original light bracket?

​@OrganizedMud sorry. I wasn't clear. The oem harness bracket.

I just hadn’t taken it off yet. Wanted it in the video for reference. Thanks

No issues really. Expect to be in higher rpms. I used the manual shift option a lot. It helped on grades to maintain speed going down and prevent extra high unnecessary rpms up hill. Just have more control over the trans. We love the camper. I’ve got a Jeep Gladiator now though. If you have any other questions feel free to ask. Enjoy!

I'm in the same boat. How has your experience been so far?

No complaints 👍

You’re welcome 👍

🤦‍♂️ SMH 🤷‍♂️ makes no sense to me either. You’re welcome. 😊👍

My big problem was, there was no specific instructions to follow that removed the trial and error. The second thing was there linear springs were not weighted for a bagger. If i remember correctly it needed to be something like 1.2 and was way under, so even weight calculations on their calculator weren’t correct. If i had a street bike i might recommend them, but with a heavy bagger I’ll call Traxxion with weight and ride preference and just install it. Much easier.

I had a 1931 model A hit us in Tennessee last year. Haven’t gotten the bike straight yet. Will do one when i can, but i can tell you i have no complaints and I’m very particular. Give them a call, tell them your setup and preferred ride and you’ll be straight. I did notice the feel got smoother after some miles. In beginning it was a little more sport firm then I’d like, but ever since break in it feels refined and dialed in exactly where i wanted. I chose Sport side of comfort- long trips but deep in twistys. Try to be real honest with them, they make suspension for real race bikes. If you ain’t grinding peg/floorboard brackets regularly don’t say Sport. Know what I’m sayin? Just be straight and I’m confident you’ll love them. Break in for me I’d say about 1,500-2,500 miles, but that’s by memory. I didn’t really keep track. I also highly recommend Legend Revo-A on rear. The combination is perfect. My old lady has ridden 13hrs without complaint. I leave rear preload set on soft side of our two up weight. When i go solo it’s a bit firmer and I can dig. If I’m going long solo i dial back the Revo-A rebound and it turns in to a Cadillac. Gives with the dumps with an easy slower softer return to neutral. It makes a difference on 4+hour rides.

Glad it helped!

I was not aware of any issues. It seemed to work fine although it did take longer than expected to do the initial setup. I no longer have the 4Runner but we towed the camper on several 4-5hr trips and I never felt anything that grabbed my attention to any issue. I’m quite obsessive about my vehicles and I’m pretty sure I would’ve noticed. That’s the best I can tell ya. I bought a Redarc for my new Gladiator also, because I liked how smoothly it worked in the 4Runner.

@@OrganizedMud I can't for the life of me get this figured out. Lol. I seem to be the only one that's experiencing this issue for some reason. Preciate it, man.

@@two_legit1832 tell me what it’s doing? Did you watch the REDARC calibration video? I found it very helpful. You have to maintain the correct speed on a flat road for long enough for it to do its thing.

@@OrganizedMud Yea, I've read and watched everything I could find. According to the manual it's calibrated. Says if calibrated you'll have a solid blue light once connected. Which I do. And trailer brakes operate fine. But I keep getting the yellow/red fault codes on the REDARC knob. No warnings or alerts on Runner dash. And the fault codes are intermittent. And I don't see any problems with any of the wiring. 🤷‍♂️

Wonderful! Ya man, talk about an annoying thing! There were many curse words uttered trying to figure this out, lol. I bought several different things until I could find what worked. So glad I could help save someone else the frustration! :)

Sorry to hear that. I didn’t realize there was a difference. Were you able to return the part to Amazon?

@@OrganizedMud No problem returning. I should have known better, the Limited's fascia is low everywhere.

@@TheRayDog Good to hear! I pinned your post so hopefully others might see beforehand. Thanks for letting us know.

You only have access to to the factor bolt for install

@@OrganizedMud Just checked my new-to-me 2010 Toyota 4Runner Limited>>Looks exactly like Mudman shows, so Early 5th Gen Limited are identical.

Thank you. I hope it helped.

You’re welcome!

Yuup. But I didn’t tow with full tanks. I also sold it for a Gladiator. 😂 🤷‍♂️👍

We just purchased a Gulf Stream 19ERD to tow behind our 4runner. 3090lbs dry wight 4384 GVW. Perfect for a couple with options for Grand kids or another couple to tag along.

I agree that drop in springs are not equivalent to a cartridge system. First it's very important to understand though that the Traxxion's system I am reviewing here is NOT just spring upgrades. The "comparable" progressive system is a unilateral design much like the "upgraded" Harley touring spring shocks were where you only adjust one side. You have a cartridge shim stack and dampener system on one side and spring rebound system on the other side. There are many issues with this, but my primary dislike is simply that the Traxxion system I reviewed on this video comprises new linear rate springs for my specific weights and riding style, and new modified dampener with integrated 3 stage shim stack- on both sides. This is mechanically very similar as an Ohlin or Legends cartridge system and provides literally twice the mechanical suspension characteristics as the Progressive without any of the torsion forces caused by running an unbalanced unilateral design. Granted, the torsion aspect is probably negligible. I run Legends Revo-A on the rear, and the Traxxion front matches the feel of the Revo rear like it was a manufactured set. The Traxxion system's brilliance, is that they've found a way to inexpensively produce the same mechanical aspects of a cartridge system, without the added cost of manufacturing a contained cartridge system. With Traxxion, the forks tubes are the cartridge. It is not as convenient to install as the cartridge system, hence a major selling point for DIY'ers, but, the because the cartridge system must fit within the fork tube and then all its components must fit within that smaller tube, it reduces the potential effectiveness of the suspension system, by reducing the possible amount of usable oil and the size of the shim stack and port holes must also be smaller. In order to effectively manage the significant weight of a Harley touring model in conjunction with the weight of the fat Harley biker that I am, making the system smaller, with less oil, and smaller porting, is the opposite of the best idea. In summary, the Traxxion system offers more oil, a manufactured dampener-shim stack component with larger porting than the original Harley dampener plus the benefits of multi-stage shims for a dynamic ride quality of a true dual cartridge system, for approximately one third the price. Yes, progressive is about the same price. Ask yourself, how. How do they manufacturer all of that at the same price? Quality cuts. With Traxxion though you get all the quality without the additional expense. That's just my 2 cents though, I could be wrong. Thanks for the comment.

I also like that you get the approximate performance of a cartridge without the requirement to send them in for regularly scheduled maintenance. I already have to send my Ohlins shocks in and don't want to have to send in fork cartridges as well! @@OrganizedMud

Good point, I didn’t even think of that. In this system I’d say the most you’d have to do is replace the fluid and normal form service. The linear rate springs should last a long time.

Interesting question. So, that’s actually a Duluth trading company jacket. It’s good and water resistant, semi-warm, and has a removable hood. It’s not Road abrasion resistant or anything, but it has been a nice jacket. I like almost everything I’ve gotten from Duluth.

@@OrganizedMud thank you.

Thanks 🙏

Hey, sorry to hear that. Hmm, I didn’t do anything extra not described in the video. You know what, I wonder if your spare is off center. They’re on cables and it send the list likely scenario. I’d recommend lowering it just though that it will move and seeing if it wants to ride a little further toward the front of the vehicle. See if you can make space that way and crank it back up tight.

My camper is 4599 and tongue weight is around 550. It does the job but I would go over this. It’s maxed out in my opinion and this is with a very good and precise weight distribution hitch with the WeighSafe. 👍

It’s the first link in the video description. Here it is 👍 amzn.to/3POz3NR

Love it. Great upgrade.

It’s not close to anything, especially nothing dangerous. 👍

Thanks man! I actually sold the 4Runner and now I’m towing it with a Sarge Green Gladiator Rubicon on 37s. 😎🤘

Exactly! Happy to help😎👍

It will do fine. Mine was 4500 and I took up the mountains of Tennessee. You’ll learn where the transmission shifts. Use manual shift for downhill especially and most of the time just for more ease of control. Get a good weight distribution hitch. I highly recommend the WeighSafe to know exactly what is right. You’ll hit some higher RPMs, but nothing bad. Don’t worry about it. Use manual downshift coming to stops if you want to give the brakes a break. Get a good brake controller. Redarc elite works like you’re not even towing.

Oh, and thanks for your video!

I don’t see anyone here leaning Racetech. I certainly wouldn’t. To each their own though.

@@OrganizedMud Polucha commented they’re quality. And Kenbo said he installed Racetech.

@@dougfresh1341 gotcha. I read those differently. I would not recommend Racetech setup for Harley.

I’ve used Racetech in 2007 Street Glide it was perfect! No front end dive and excellent handling. Great ride too, much better then stock.

No unfortunately that wouldn’t work. Heating the bracket is not going to stretch it 12 inches toward the bumper.

Well said. Yeah they’ve made quite a make for themselves in the super bike world. I think they did a test thing with this product. Really filled a niche that hasn’t yet been addressed.

Great idea! You’re welcome.
