I bought a 2001 Tundra and used it to tow an old LoLiner travel trailer (5-6000 lbs). On the way down the mountain from the lake (about 12 miles) the tranny was damaged (felt like thick mush and had to jam the stick around to find a gear). It was repaired under warranty and has been fine for 50K miles.
During that time I towed a horse trailer now and then, similar in weight, but never on a long steep incline as described. No apparent damage.
Now I have another travel trailer, similar in weight to the first (5-6000 lbs). the question: is the tranny fully repaired and I should have no problems, OR is this a weakness in the 2001 design and it will probably happen again if I tow it up and down the mountain.
Thanks,
