I promised my wife I would not watch any Airstream Caravel porn. But now I'm in the man cave watching AS Caravel porn. OMG I hope she can forgive me...

Hi Mike! I noticed you have a similar setup to me and was wondering how you liked it. I recently purchased the 22FB Caravel, and have a 2017 4Runner TRD-Off road with a GVRW of 5000. I've installed an additional tranny cooler, airbag support in the back and a breakcontroller. Are there any tips or tricks you've learned while towing with your set up?

I am also getting a weight distribution/ anti-sway hitch installed on pick up. I believe it's the E2.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Varnerdy. Welcome aboard.

My 2012 is similar but not identical to yours. My 4.0L V6 engine is a slightly different family and specs I believe. My GVRW is 5500.

That said, we pull our 22FB Bambi in the Rockies quite often. The 4R does a good job but cannot pull at the normal flow or highway speed of others. We know that and use the auto stick to keep us in manual - the is correct towing gear for the terrain. On a flat highway I use 4th (no OD) to keep my rpms in the 3000 range. Good speed and 14 mpg.

We have the EQUAL-I-Zer and it has done a great job and we added an aftermarket break controller. We do not have airbag shocks nor do we have an aftermarket oil or transmission cooler. The 4Runner is a very robust TV and made to tow. We keep our 22FB at about 4500 lbs and the air in the Goodyear Endurance (GYE) at 68-70 psi cold.

I sometimes forget the AS is back there. I drive the flow of traffic and that is usually 75 in Texas. I did install an OBDII dash monitor to keep tabs on some additional engine parameters. It lets me set the speed reminder to keep myself from going over 80 mph.

Hey Varnerdy -- I've got a 2020 Limited 4Runner with an OME Suspension & am wondering how you're going towing the Caravel 22FB. I'm looking to get one to tow all over the country, including through the Rockies in the winter and desert in the summer. I'm planning to add all the things once I pull the trigger on the AS.
