To increase the utility of the vehicle, I drug home a 5x13 manual tilt trailer. This trailer will haul anything I would want to pull with the 4Runner. It will allow me to not have to use my 2500HD pickup truck as often, thus saving me some fuel.

I will be adding a trailer brake controller to the 4Runner prior to using the trailer. I will also be refreshing the trailer with new lights, RTMR fuse box, new wiring, etcetera. I am considering converting the trailer from manual tilt to hydraulic tilt, but I am undecided on that as of now. I will also convert the trailer to a ball hitch and add a receiver to be able to use my hitch mounted winch to load the trailer.

The biggest aero mod for this thing was holding out to buy a tilt trailer, not getting a gate or attached ramps to drag through the wind. Not planning to do many fuel saving mods to the trailer, but I might just do a coroplast belly pan for kicks.
