Who actually uses their V6 Tacoma as the truck it's supposed to be?

Yeah, really. Is that those things that women carry over their shoulders?

Yamaha 23ft.....5000 lbs w/trailer

I've hauled an approx. 3000 trailer a few times.
It does a great job of hauling my 26 lb bicycle too.

i think so

nice! hey you guys that get snow, i would assume that can be done all winter then. Here in Hawaii we got to use those things called coolers. Don't want to drink a 80 degree beer in December.

I like that trailer set up man!!

I was thinking of going with a military 3/4 ton trailer, (restoring it somewhat) painting it to match the truck and add the same wheels and tires.
Don't have a ATV but I like the way yours looks.....

Chris-R · 10-29-2008, 08:16 PM

I just downsized from a Ford F250 V-10 to a very nice Tacoma TRD Off Road with V6 trailer package. I already hauled a few thousand pounds of ATVs and am regularly hauling all sorts of construction materials while working on a few apartment houses. I'm also going to put a small snowplow on it (Sno-Way 6'8"). It is going to work like a truck.

Marioso · 10-29-2008, 09:48 PM

i do...long bed...i work for a construction company called edge...contracts with colleges and other schools...the crew im in do the concrete pouring and finishing...i haul shovels tools and other equipment im on sites everday and i have hauled 20 90lb bags of cement to my property in mexico and boards of ply wood...my truck looks awesome...my bed...thats another story...i believe trucks should be used for hard work instead of watching it like baby...nothing like the good ol big black saying "DO WORK SON!"

It's quite a load, but it gets it moving up to highway speeds just fine. I'll post a pic the next time i haul it.

I drive it......

....... i dont know if i could live up to your standards.....
