Hello all I have a dilemma I have a 95 Coachmen santara 460 36 ft dual axle and I'm thinking about taking it on the road for a while so this means Towing another vehicle. I currently have a 2009 Toyota Tacoma quad cab roughly 4500 lb to 5000 lb I love this truck and I have the Blue Ox an appropriate front bumper hitch for my truck along with a braking system which I previously purchased and I can undo for bolts on the rear drive shaft and flat tow my truck. I was wondering if anybody else has flat towed a quad cab truck like the Ford the Chevy or the Toyotas hopefully then the pros and cons. I'm looking at picking up a YJ Wrangler but that gives up a lot of comfort and space from my Tacoma and it looks like I'm going to save roughly 2000 pounds Maybe possibly only a thousand any thoughts would be helpful

Sounds like you have the same coach as me. If so you are only rated to tow 3500 lbs. Sorry. Even with a higher tow rating a stock 460 if gonna be straining hard on the hills with that much weight.

I have the same chassis with a Fleetwood Bounder on it . You have a 3500 lbs tow rating like others have said .
We flat tow a Ford Focus , it has its tongue hanging out on big hills .
