Well, it's no Powerstroke, but Trooper did very well. But then I've towed the MR2 with it before and the MR2 weighs a good 500lbs more. The allowable tow weight on the Trooper is 5500lbs. It's a standard tranny, 4wd version. It has adjustable Rancho 9000 shocks and firming up the rear really helps.
