    I second this notion. I too feel the same way, towing a 26' TT that weighs 6000#, It's a Toyota, not a Ford, not a Chevy, or any of the rest. I have faith in my Taco, and my ability to tow just about anything. and it sounds like you do as well, kudo's to you, drive safe and happy towing...

    Yup. I'm regularly loaded to gross as well with the race car, trailer and all the gear for a weekend. The tow rating is 6500 for a reason.....

    Thanks man. I got a sweet deal on it, traded my golf cart. I've done quite a bit to it to make it what I have now but it's still worth more than what I have in it.

    Thanks, I have no complaints other than the howling from the windows in a cross wind.
