Tow a pop-up trailer?
Has anyone towed a small pop-up trailer with their XB2? I am contemplating something like this, but don't want to bend the unibody or anything:

Towing is not recommended at all, but some people do tow small lightweight storage trailers, or jet ski/PWC with the xB2.
That pop-up camper weighs 1500 pounds. WAY TOO HEAVY!
Heavy duty oil & trans coolers won't even help you here.
Don't do it.

There are lighter weight models including some that are designed to be towed by motorcycles. I have a friend who tows one, but haven't been able to get a hold of him to find out who makes it. It's similar to these... http://www.trailmasterinc.com/campers.html Here's a slightly bigger lightweight tent trailer... http://www.jumpingjacktrailers.com/tent-trailer.cfm

Easily towable with just about any car.

Yeah, I think the "international" xB is underrated, but it's hard to tell what the unibody design is really up to ! My suspicion is it's good for near 2K pounds, but 1100 pounds seems safer. I'll go with the latter !

Guess that's what you get when the car manufacturer lacks ***** ! Of course, given the U.S. legal environment, can you really blame them? I'm inclined to believe the most reaching of the off shore claims, but that doesn't mean you're safe. So, I'm constrained to being both conservative and a chicken - cluck, cluck, cluck! FWIW -- Don't blame Toyota, blame the worthless legions of lawyers our country is proud to deploy!
