I am assuming the 22ft SD uses a tandem trailer. Not sure what the towing weight would be for that rig.
My 2006 V8 4WD 4Runner is rated for 7000 lbs towing and has a 4.7 V8 with good power.
If I used a tandem trailer with electric brakes and a WDH, - would that be a safe rig for highway?
Otherwise, I assume an F150 is adequate.
[Q] Anyone towing a 22ft SD with a 4Runner?

You should be fine with the ratings. Rigs weight from 4,000 up to over 5,000 with trailer. Some have single axle--better for road trailer to have dual axle. I prefer electric over hydraulic brakes, but surge are legal for that weight almost anywhere. _________________ Bob Austin

Use to tow it with our 6 cyl no problem. If you know where your going tow it without too much gas or water and that will help a little. |

Thanks for replies. Good to know the 22 and tandem trailer is not too much.
( p.s. - I meant "CD" for C-Dory, not SD. ) |

I tow my 22 with a 4ltr. 6 cyl Nissan Pathfinder (rated for 6k#). Tows it just fine.
The towing weight of my boat on a tandem Al trailer is ~4400# |
